Bibliographic information May 1975, Vol.32, No.2, p.163-164. 7 ref.
Abstract Report of a case of renal failure with severe myoglobinuria following acute exposure to toluene. The myoglobinuria appeared to be the direct cause of the renal failure, which rapidly became non-oliguric on early administration of intravenous fluids, osmotic diuretics and frusemide. Haemodialysis was performed on 3 occasions. Recovery was complete.
