Unusual Manifestation of Mercuric Chloride Poisoning as Intratubular Nephrocalcinosis - A Rare Case Report

Mercuric chloride salts are highly toxic compounds that have been linked to suicidal or accidental poisoning. Because of their high solubility, mercuric chloride salts can cause acute tubular injury, corrosive effects in the gastrointestinal system, hematemesis and hematochezia, circulatory collapse...

description Mercuric chloride salts are highly toxic compounds that have been linked to suicidal or accidental poisoning. Because of their high solubility, mercuric chloride salts can cause acute tubular injury, corrosive effects in the gastrointestinal system, hematemesis and hematochezia, circulatory collapse, and death. Here, we report an unusual case of mercuric chloride poisoning in a 17-year-old girl who manifested with acute tubular necrosis in association with intratubular nephrocalcinosis and emphasize the role of hemodialysis in the patient’s successful recovery.
