Abstract

We report the case of a 25-year-old woman who voluntary swallowed mercuric oxycyanide and presented an anuric acute renal failure. The treatment was classically based upon the use of chelating agents and haemodialysis. Recovery of renal function was excellent. We discuss then more widely the clinical, physiopathologic and therapeutic aspects of acute intoxication with inorganic mercury salts.
