[End stage renal disease after ingestion of mushrooms].
This case report describes a 56 year old patient with acute renal failure caused by a mushroom poisoning. Unspecific symptoms like a gastroenteritis followed by kidney insuffiency lead to the diagnosis of an orellanus syndrome. The toxin can be proved by thin layer chromatography in renal biopsy. Fast processing of hemoperfusion may avoid lasting kidney damage and dialysis.
