| Abstract: | It is the goal of this section to publish material that provides information regarding specific issues, aspects of artificial organ application, approach, philosophy, suggestions, and/or thoughts for the future. Hypophosphatemia developed in a normophosphatemic patient after 9 h of hemodialysis therapy (using a phosphate-free dialysate) administered for the treatment of ethylene glycol poisoning. The hypophosphatemia was promptly improved with additional hemodialysis treatment using a phosphorus-enriched dialysate. |
