title: [Hepatorenal lesions in acute acetone poisoning].
abstract: Lesions of the parenchymal organs, not described so far, were found in two males and two females with acute acetone intoxication, besides the well known morbid changes in the gastrointestinal tract and ZNS, regardless the energetic hepato--and nephroprotective treatment. In all patients (one of them inhaled acetone vapours and the rest swallowed the poison per os) liver lesion is present with the corresponding clinical manifestations and changes in the laboratory liver indices. In two of the per orally intoxicated, renal lesion was also found, manifested in a milder degree. The state of the parenchymal organs is necessary to be followed up carefully in case of acute acetone intoxications and a timely treatment with hepato- and nephroprotective drugs in large doses to be applied: glucocorticoids, glucose and levulose solutions, cocarboxylase, lipovitan, vitamin "C", "B1", "B2", "B12", calcium gluconate.
