Research Efficacy Snapshot
Published efficacy percentages cited in PubMed trials and named-expert reports about DMSA. Each line links to the original source.
- "Statistical analysis with 0.95 power and using mean standard deviation resulted in a 95% confidence interval within ±10% of DMSA labeled content by sampling 4 vials of a batch using the Ellman's Reagent test." · Galbraith W et al, 2025 PubMed
- "This leads to a 27% lower time-integrated activity coefficient in pediatric patients than in adults." · Plyku D et al, 2021 PubMed
- "Female pediatric patients had a 17% higher fractional kidney uptake at the clinical imaging time than males (P < 0.001)." · Plyku D et al, 2021 PubMed
- "Some 10-25% of an orally administered dose of DMSA is excreted in urine, the majority within 24 h and most (>90%) as DMSA-cysteine disulfide conjugates." · Bradberry S et al, 2009 PubMed
- "Over a 5-day course, mean daily urine lead excretion exceeds baseline by between 5- and 20-fold and blood lead concentrations fall to 50% or less of the pretreatment concentration, with wide variation." · Bradberry S et al, 2009 PubMed
- "A transient modest rise in transaminase activity during chelation occurs in up to 60% of patients but has not resulted in clinically significant sequelae." · Bradberry S et al, 2009 PubMed
- "Skin reactions occur in approximately 6% of treated patients and are occasionally severe." · Bradberry S et al, 2009 PubMed
