“Alkaline Diuresis” is the Savior in 2,4-Dimethylamine Intoxication

Abstract

2,4-dimethyalmine is a herbicide commonly used by agriculturalist. Acute intoxication can cause fatal multiorgan damage. No antidote is available. We report a rarely encountered manifestation of this toxin, that is, spontaneous rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury and the effectiveness of alkaline diuresis as a life saving treatment in 2,4-dimethylamine intoxication.
