[Acute renal failure, neuropathy and deafness due to sodium bromate intoxication: report of one case]

The clinical manifestations of sodium bromate intoxication include among others acute renal failure and deafness. Most of the toxic manifestations are reversible with the exception of renal failure and deafness. This patient ingested about 7.5 g of sodium bromate powder, which produced gastrointestinal irritation, hypotension, fatigue, deafness, acute renal failure, anemia and peripheral neuropathy. Hemodialysis was performed three times due to acute renal failure, although the renal function improved, it did not recover completely. The patient was discharged with BUN: 42 mg/dL and creatinine: 3.4 mg/dL; she was still deaf.
