[Prolonged acute renal failure and severe polyradiculopathy in ethylene glycol intoxication].
Ethylene glycol intoxication involves acute renal failure and severe metabolic acidosis. Prolonged renal insufficiency can occur but terminal chronic renal failure has been reported in very few cases. We describe a patient who after ingestion of 920 ml of ethylene glycol developed prolonged acute renal failure needing hemodialysis for 37 days and then he partly recovered renal function. The patient developed a severe sensitive-motor and autonomic polyradiculopathy.
