ABSTRACT

Chromium compounds are used as oxidizing agents in leather industries. Acute dichromate poisoning is rare. Ingestion of potassium dichromate is often fatal with rapidly progressive renal and hepatic failure. We report a case of ammonium dichromate poisoning in a young male with a successful outcome. The patient had presented with abdominal pain and metabolic acidosis. On presentation there was no hepatic involvement. He was treated with prophylactic haemodialysis and the discussion is on the role of prophylactic haemodialysis in patients with chromium compounds poisoning. Keywords: Haemodialysis, Acute Ammonium Dichromate Poisoning
