  • Title: [Severe ocular toxicity of desferrioxamine in the hemodialyzed patient].
    Author: Bournerias F, Monnier N, Dufier JL, Réveillaud RJ.
    Journal: Nephrologie; 1987; 8(1):27-9. PubMed ID: 3587485.
    Abstract:
    Severe and persistent visual loss with retinitis pigmentosa occurred in a hemodialyzed patient, treated with desferrioxamine (DFO) for aluminium intoxication, with a total DFO dose of 18 g given over 9 weeks. Cases reported since 1983 are reviewed, and hypothesis and risk factors for DFO toxicity are discussed. Caution should be exercised in using DFO in hemodialyzed patients.
