The Use of Single Pass Albumin Dialysis and Hemoadsorption in Management of Life-Threatening Amlodipine Overdose.

We report the successful application of single pass albumin dialysis (SPAD) and hemoadsorption (HA) in two teenagers with amlodipine poisoning. A 16-year-old girl with amlodipine overdose developed refractory shock and lactic acidosis despite multiple inotropes, calcium, insulin, and glucagon infusion. SPAD was initiated 18 h after the incident for 21 h.

Left ventricular stiffness in paediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease.

Background: We tested the hypothesis that myocardial stiffness is altered in paediatric patients with end-stage kidney disease (ESKD) and explored its association with clinical parameters of chronic kidney disease (CKD).

Methods: Thirty-five patients with ESKD (16 males) aged 17.5 ± 3 years old, 18/35 of whom were receiving dialysis and 17 post kidney transplant, were studied.
