Ammonium dichromate is an inorganic compound frequently used in screen and color printing. Being a strong oxidizing agent, it causes oxygen free radical injury resulting in organ failure. We report a 25-year-old female who presented with acute kidney injury after consumption of ammonium dichromate. She was managed successfully with hemodialysis and supportive measures. This case is reported to highlight the toxicity of ammonium dichromate.
重铬酸铵是一种常用于丝网印刷和彩色印刷的无机化合物。作为一种强氧化剂,它会导致氧自由基损伤,进而造成器官衰竭。我们报告一例25岁女性,其在摄入重铬酸铵后出现急性肾损伤。通过血液透析和支持性措施,她得到了成功治疗。报告此病例是为了强调重铬酸铵的毒性。
