Comparing fast vs. slow blood cleaning for severe diquat poisoning
Part of Injuries & trauma, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This trial tests if starting a type of blood cleaning (CVVHDF) more quickly after a filtering step (hemoperfusion) works better than waiting a bit longer in people with severe diquat poisoning. It aims to find the safest and most effective way to remove the poison from your blood.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older.
- You drank diquat solution (a weed killer) within the last 48 hours.
- Your blood test shows a high level of diquat (at least 1,000 ng/mL) when you arrive at the emergency room.
- You have not taken any other poison or harmful substance along with the diquat.
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding.
- You have not had any blood cleaning treatments in the last 2 months, and you do not have severe kidney disease or a recent kidney transplant.

This trial tests a faster type of blood filtering (hemodiafiltration) for people who have taken a large amount of diquat, a toxic weedkiller. The goal is to see if this treatment helps remove the poison from the blood quickly and improve recovery.
This trial checks how accurate a new test kit is at measuring diquat (a weed killer) in blood samples. If you have been exposed to diquat, your leftover blood sample may be used to see if this new method works well.
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 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.
This study compares different types of dialysis to see which removes waste products (uremic toxins) best from the blood. If you have been on dialysis for at least 6 months and use the same filter for a year, this trial may help find a better way to clean your blood.
