Hemodialysis patients are frequently affected by peptic disease, and in many cases they have high serum levels of gastrin. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of omeprazole, an inhibitor of gastric parietal cells hydrogen pump, on peptic disease and gastric secretion of 16 selected dialysis patients. H2-receptors blocking drugs or gastric acidity buffers were withdrawn for 2 weeks, then omeprazole was administered for 4 weeks at a daily dosage of 20 mg.

- The study discusses cases of acute renal failure linked to patients who consumed wildfowl that ingested hemlock buds.
- The patients experienced neurotoxic symptoms alongside rhabdomyolysis, myoglobinuria, and acute tubular necrosis.
- Histological analysis revealed significant degeneration of renal tubular cells and the presence of myoglobin and actin in those cells.

July 1993
Combined use of plasma-exchange and dialysis therapy in 3 different cases of acute renal failure is presented. The first is a case of acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis caused by hemlock poisoning. Plasma-exchange was effective in improving the signs of rhabdomyolysis and renal failure.
