Title: washed out?
Post by: oswald on February 15, 2012, 10:42:48 AM

I don't know if this question has been asked before.  Does pain medicine get washed out during dialysis? Such as oxycodone or diladed? If they do get washed out, what doesn't?

All medicines are different - google the medicine name and "dialyzable" and there are charts that will tell you.

For example, googling "dilaudid dialyzable" gave me a pubmed extract saying

Quote

Based on the review, it is recommended that morphine and codeine are avoided in renal failure/dialysis patients; hydromorphone or oxycodone are used with caution and close monitoring; and that methadone and fentanyl/sufentanil appear to be safe to use. Note is made that the "safe" drugs in renal failure are also the least dialyzable.

(Dilaudid is hydromorphone)
