AB We used charcoal hemoperfusion coupled with hemodialysis to treat a woman with massive digoxin ingestion complicated by hyperkalemia. Although dialysis controlled the serum potassium levels, hemoperfusion removed less than 1% of the total ingested dose. Hemoperfusion has a relatively minor impact on digoxin elimination and remains of unproved value in the therapy for digoxin overdose.(JAMA 242:2100-2101, 1979)
