Dextran (applies to Dextran 40 in 0.9% Sodium Chloride) renal impairment
Major Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility. Applicable conditions: Renal Dysfunction
Low molecular and high molecular weight dextran are contraindicated in patients with renal disease with severe oliguria or anuria.
Dextran (applies to Dextran 40 in 0.9% Sodium Chloride) bleeding
Moderate Potential Hazard, Moderate plausibility.
Caution should be employed when using dextran (low and high molecular weight) in patients with active hemorrhage as the resulting increase in perfusion pressure and improved microcirculatory flow may result in additional blood loss.
