ABSTRACT
We report a 22 year patient who developed acute renal failure following the ingestion of a hair-dye with a suicidal intent. He was managed by hemodialysis and other symptomatic measures. His renal biopsy showed acute interstitial nephritis along with granulomas and giant cells. Hair dyes contain a host of chemicals that can cause rhabdomyolysis, laryngeal edema, severe metabolic acidosis and acute renal failure. Intervention at the right time has been shown to improve the outcome:
