A fatal case of severe copper sulphate poisoning is reported in whom hemodialysis was performed 13 h after ingestion. At autopsy a significant amount of copper was found in the brain, heart, liver, kidney, spleen and adrenals. This case indicates copper is nondialysable and that hemodialysis is ineffective in the treatment of acute copper sulphate poisoning.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
