The most likely indication for dialysis is severe valproic acid toxicity with a serum concentration greater than 850 mg/L, in which significant morbidity and mortality may occur
doses of 90 to 120 mg/kg/d corresponded to the incidence of dose-limiting toxicity (DLT), dominated mainly by neurocognitive impairment, with grade 3 or 4 neurological side effects occurring in 8 out of 26 patients The use of valproic acid (VPA) (also known as Depakote, Depakene, and others) frequently results in elevated plasma ammonia
