ABSTRACT
We could demonstrate the possibilities and limitations of the extracorporal detoxications by accidental poisonings in children. The effective use of hemodialysis, hemoperfusion, and plasmapheresis in poisonings during childhood under special consideration of the parameters such as molecular weights, half time rate, proteinbinding, distribution volume, pattern of solubility, and metabolism is shown and critically discussed.

A report about different kinds of protein restricted diet in conservative treatment of 10 children with renal failure in relation to determined parameter in blood serum and to the development of growth is given in this study. Protein restricted diet with supplementation of essential aminoacids or its ketoanalogues presents a favourable influence to the level of urea in serum and to the development of growth. Recommendations will be given for the praxis of protein restriction, especially in childhood.

The validity of the histamine releasing test for the diagnosis of cow's milk, soy, and egg protein allergy was checked in 31 infants with clinical features of intestinal protein intolerance. The test was positive in 12 of the infants, but in only 5 resp. 1 among them the prick or the Ouchterlony test were pathological. The remaining 19 infants reacted negatively in all 3 tests and subsequently tolerated oral protein loading. The results indicate the superiority of the histamine releasing test in comparison to the conventional prick- and Ouchterlony test.
