Early dialysis for severe diquat weedkiller poisoning
Part of Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Age 18 or older
- Swallowed diquat weedkiller within the past 48 hours
- Blood test shows a very high diquat level (at least 1,000 ng/mL)
- No other poisons taken at the same time
- No kidney dialysis or transplant in the recent past
- Not pregnant or breastfeeding

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.
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 special blood-filtering treatment (hemoperfusion) for people with advanced kidney disease on regular dialysis. It aims to remove harmful substances that standard dialysis may not fully clear.
This study compares two methods for removing waste products from the blood in people who need dialysis. It aims to see whether one method works better or is safer during extra-renal (outside the body) blood purification.
