Abstract :
Aluminum phosphide poisoning is common in our region. It can
cause severe metabolic acidosis and persistent hypotension, which
lead to cardiogenic shock and subsequently mortality. Oliguric
or anuric acute kidney injury is seen in almost all patients with
aluminum phosphide poisoning. Renal replacement therapies are
recommended in these patients to improve metabolic acidosis
and increase the rate of survival. We report 2 cases of severe
acute aluminum phosphide poisoning treated successfully with
peritoneal dialysis.
