Abstract

Poisoning due to insecticides such as organophosphorus and super vasmol presenting as acute kidney injury (AKI) is well-reported. Poisoning due to fipronil (phenylpyrazole) is known to present with mild neurological and dermatological complaints. However, fipronil poisoning presenting as AKI and hepatic dysfunction is not known. Herein, we are presenting a case of fipronil poisoning presenting with severe AKI.
