          Abstract

          Hair dye poisoning has been emerging as one of the important causes of intentional self harm in the developing world. Hair dyes contain paraphenylene-diamine and a host of other chemicals that can cause rhabdomyolysis, laryngeal edema, severe metabolic acidosis and acute renal failure. Intervention at the right time has been shown to improve the outcome. In this article, we review the various manifestations, clinical features and treatment modalities for hair dye poisoning.

            Propylene glycol-induced proximal renal tubular cell injury.

            P D Yorgin, A A Theodorou, A Al-Uzri … (1997)
            Propylene glycol is a solvent that is used in many oral, injectable, and topical medications. Although uncommon, acute renal failure has been attributed to propylene glycol. The mechanism of propylene glycol-mediated renal injury is unknown. We report a case of acute renal failure in a 16-year-old boy given large doses of pentobarbital and phenobarbital, both of which are solubilized with propylene glycol. A renal biopsy showed proximal renal tubular cell swelling and vacuole formation. The data from this case suggest that the reversible acute renal failure caused by propylene glycol is attributable to proximal renal tubular cell injury.

              Acute renal failure following para-phenylenediamine (PPD) poisoning: a case report and review.

              P. Kar, S. Anuradha, Sandeep Arora … (2004)
              We report a case of systemic poisoning with para-phenylenediamine (PPD) presenting with characteristic features of severe angioneurotic edema, rhabdomyolysis and intravascular hemolysis with hemoglobinuria culminating in acute renal failure. Though rare in western countries, such poisoning is not uncommon in East Africa, Indian subcontinent and Middle East countries. We discuss here the clinical features and key management issues of systemic PPD poisoning.
