| [ Summary ] | We describe an 18-year-old man who developed acute renal failure after accidental ingestion of ethylene glycol (EG). Nausea and vomiting were observed soon after ingestion. During admission to his local hospital, consciousness became impaired and convulsion was noted. He was transferred to our hospital because of rapid deterioration of renal function. Treatments were carried out, and after improvements in serum creatinine were confirmed, hemodialysis was discontinued after the 8th session. | |
