Accuracy of a blood test for diquat poisoning
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.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You must have suspected or confirmed diquat poisoning.
- You need to have a blood sample (whole blood or plasma) available for testing.
- You or your legal representative must agree to participate and follow the study rules.
- The blood sample must be taken according to usual hospital procedures.
- The sample must look normal, without any visible clumps or unusual changes.

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 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 is testing a new D-dimer blood test (AQT90 FLEX) to see how well it detects blood clots in people who have symptoms but a low to moderate risk. If you join, this test may help rule out dangerous clots more quickly.
This study is testing different ways to collect blood samples for a liver function test called HepQuant DuO. The test measures how well your liver processes a special substance, which may help doctors better understand your liver health.
This study tests a new blood test (HepQuant DuO) to see how well it measures liver function in people with alcohol-related liver disease. If you have liver damage from alcohol and either a recent serious liver flare-up or also a fatty liver condition (NASH), this study may help your doctors understand your liver better.
This study looks at how doctors decide to test for pulmonary embolism (a blood clot in the lungs) in the emergency department. It helps understand what factors lead to testing, which could improve care for future patients.
