Earlier versus standard blood-cleaning treatment for severe diquat poisoning
Part of Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests two schedules of a blood-cleaning treatment called continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration (CVVHDF) after a type of blood purification called hemoperfusion, for people who have swallowed a dangerous amount of diquat weed killer. The goal is to see whether starting this treatment sooner is more effective than the standard timing.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This study tests whether starting a special type of dialysis (called hemodiafiltration) right away can help people who have swallowed a large amount of diquat weedkiller. Diquat is extremely toxic, and this treatment aims to remove the poison from the blood faster.
This study tests a new blood test kit and a portable machine to measure how much diquat (a weed killer) is in your blood. It aims to help doctors quickly and accurately confirm poisoning so you can get the right treatment.
This trial compares two types of dialysis (hemodialysis and hemodiafiltration) to see which is better at removing waste from the blood in ICU patients with sudden kidney failure. It may help doctors choose the best treatment for you.
This trial tests a blood-filtering device (hemadsorption) to help remove drugs from the body faster in people who are in the ICU after an overdose of certain sedatives or antidepressants, especially if they have liver or kidney problems.
This trial tests a procedure that cleans your blood (called plasma exchange) given at half the usual dose, along with other detox methods, to help people with sudden liver failure. It aims to help your liver recover or support you while you wait for a transplant.
This trial tests whether giving activated charcoal plus emptying the stomach can help people who are on a breathing machine after severe poisoning. It may lower the amount of poison in the body and improve recovery.
