title: Use of a phosphorus-enriched dialysate to hemodialyze patients with ethylene glycol intoxication.
abstract: A phosphorus-enriched dialysate was used to intensively hemodialyze two non-uremic and non-hyperphosphatemic patients poisoned with ethylene glycol. As a consequence of the use of such a dialysate, we were able to prevent a fall in plasma inorganic phosphorus levels in these patients in spite of the intensive dialytic therapy.
