[Plasmapheresis in the treatment of hepatic coma].
Fourteen patients, including 6 with viral hepatitis B and 8 with liver cirrhosis were treated with plasmapheresis for hepatic coma. Altogether 29 plasmaphereses were carried out. Complete recovery was achieved in one patient with viral hepatitis B and in 3 patients with liver cirrhosis. Plasmapheresis should be performed in patients with severe lesions to the liver. Classification of patients to the treatment should include clinical examination, biochemical and enzymatic tests, and evaluation of liver reserve with isotope hepatography. In case of the acute poisoning with hepatotoxic agents indications to plasmapheresis should be evaluated from the toxicologic point of view.

[Clinical and toxicologic problems related to acute poisoning with chromium].
Clinical course and toxicological findings in 18 patients intoxicated with ingested chromium salts are presented. Seventeen of these patients ingested potassium and sodium dichromate while the remaining patient--chromic acid. The first stage of 6-valent chromium is characterized by its irritating effect on the gastro-intestinal mucous membrane manifested by diarrhoea, vomiting often with blood, leading to severe water-electrolyte disorders, acidosis and shock. Lesions to kidneys, liver and myocardium may develop in the next stage. Probably endothelium is also in injured with resulting increase in its permeability. Acute renal failure is not seen even with high levels of chromium in the urine provided, that the recovery from the shock is prompt, and adequate diuresis induced with mannitol and/or furosemide is maintained. All patients with blood chromium concentration exceeding 1 mg/100 g died. This level is of prognostic and diagnostic value indicating an ingestion and absorption of the high doses of this metal.
