Endosulphan is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide with potential toxicity for the respiratory and central nervous systems. Renal toxicity has been rarely reported. We describe a man who developed renal failure due to acute tubular necrosis following a suicidal attempt with endosulphan in the absence of significant hypotension or sepsis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
