Abstract

Endosulphan is a chlorinated hydrocarbon insecticide with potential toxicity for the respiratory and central nervous systems. Renal toxicity has been rarely reported. We describe a man who developed renal failure due to acute tubular necrosis following a suicidal attempt with endosulphan in the absence of significant hypotension or sepsis.
