Ethylene glycol is commonly found in automobile antifreeze and a variety of other commercial products. Ingestion of ethylene glycol, either accidentally or in a making an attempt at suicide, is characterized by severe metabolic acidosis, calcium oxalate crystal formation and deposition, and various end organ damages that may be fatal with about 80% mortality rate.
