[A contribution to acute glutethimide (Elrodorm) intoxication].

I Krell, T Jordan, G Queck

    Zeitschrift Fur Die Gesamte Innere Medizin Und Ihre Grenzgebiete
    |January 15, 1975

    Summary

    Minimal glutethimide doses (2.5-5g) caused severe bleeding issues and acute liver failure in two patients. One case also presented with acute kidney failure, prompting discussion on potential causes.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Pharmacology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Glutethimide is a sedative-hypnotic drug with a history of toxicity.
    • Understanding the dose-dependent effects of glutethimide is crucial for clinical management.

    Observation:

    • Two cases of glutethimide intoxication are presented.
    • Minimal doses (2.5g and 5g) were ingested by the patients.

    Findings:

    • Ingestion of minimal glutethimide amounts led to hemorrhagic diathesis (bleeding disorders).
    • Acute liver insufficiency was observed in both cases.
    • Acute renal insufficiency occurred in one of the cases.

    Implications:

    • This study highlights the potential for severe toxicity even with low-dose glutethimide exposure.
    • Further investigation into the mechanisms underlying glutethimide-induced organ damage is warranted.
    • Clinicians should be aware of the risks associated with glutethimide, even in seemingly non-toxic doses.
