a

Applicable to all modalities of ECTR, including hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, hemofiltration.

b

Corresponds to% removal of ingested dose or total body burden in a 6-hour ECTR period.

c

Measured during the same period of time.

These criteria should only be applied if measured or calculated (not reported) endogenous half-life is >4 hours (otherwise, ECTR is considered not clinically relevant). Furthermore, the primary criterion is preferred for poisons having a large Vd (>5 l/kg). Obtained with permission from Clinical Toxicology.
