ABSTRACT
High-flux hemodialysis is the method of choice for the treatment of many life threatening intoxications. Reports on intoxication with pentoxifylline are rare, and although pharmacokinetic properties of the drug suggest a potential role for hemodialysis, there are no published reports on extracorporeal treatment attempts. We report the first case of successful treatment of potentially life-threatening pentoxifylline intoxication by high-flux hemodialysis. Based on this single case, dialysis should be considered, especially in anuric patients with pentoxifylline intoxication.
