Toxic Epidermal Necrolysis and Acute Kidney Injury due to Glyphosate Ingestion

Indian J Crit Care Med. 2017 Mar;21(3):167-169. doi: 10.4103/ijccm.IJCCM_423_16.

Abstract

The literature, particularly from India, is scarce on the renal effects of glyphosate poisoning. Glyphosate causes toxicity not only after its ingestion but also after dermal exposure by inhalation route and on eye exposure. We present a patient report of glyphosate consumption which resulted in toxic epidermal necrolysis - the first report after glyphosate consumption and acute kidney injury.

Keywords: Acute kidney injury; glyphosate; hemodialysis; toxic epidermal necrolysis.
