dimercaprol and Kidney Diseases

dimercaprol has been researched along with Kidney Diseases in 13 studies

Dimercaprol: An anti-gas warfare agent that is effective against Lewisite (dichloro(2-chlorovinyl)arsine) and formerly known as British Anti-Lewisite or BAL. It acts as a chelating agent and is used in the treatment of arsenic, gold, and other heavy metal poisoning.
dimercaprol : A dithiol that is propane-1,2-dithiol in which one of the methyl hydrogens is replaced by a hydroxy group. a chelating agent originally developed during World War II as an experimental antidote against the arsenic-based poison gas Lewisite, it has been used clinically since 1949 for the treatment of poisoning by arsenic, mercury and gold. It can also be used for treatment of poisoning by antimony, bismuth and possibly thallium, and (with sodium calcium edetate) in cases of acute leaad poisoning. Administration is by (painful) intramuscular injection of a suspension of dimercaprol in peanut oil, typically every 4 hours for 2-10 days depending on the toxicity. In the past, dimercaprol was also used for the treatment of Wilson's disease, a severely debilitating genetic disorder in which the body tends to retain copper, with resultant liver and brain injury.

Kidney Diseases: Pathological processes of the KIDNEY or its component tissues.

"Analysis is made of the results of the treatment with parenteral (crysanol and myochrysine) and oral (ridaura) gold drugs as well as with small doses of D-penicillamine (DP) of patients suffering from rheumatoid arthritis with the signs of nephropathy."5.07[A comparative evaluation of parenteral and oral preparations of gold and D-penicillamine in the treatment of rheumatoid nephropathy].
