Metformin is removed by hemodialysis, which can also help correct severe lactic acidosis. Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration has also been recommended. 

Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration has been shown to be effective In removing lithium in several human cases. 

Continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration was reported to be effective In two cases, but there is insufficient information about clearance rates to recommend this procedure. 

Drug-device interactions In a 59-year-old man with refractory status epilepticus taking topiramate, clinically important amounts of topiramate were removed by continuous venovenous hemodiafiltration for acute renal failure [302" ]. Higher doses of topiramate should therefore be used during this procedure.

The pharmacokinetics of intravenous levofloxacin have been studied in intensive care unit patients during continuous venovenous hemofiltration or hemodiafiltration (34,35). Levofloxacin clearance was substantially increased during both types of continuous renal replacement therapy. Levofloxacin 250 mg/day maintained effective plasma drug concentrations in these patients.
