Abstract:
We describe two cases of altered consciousness associated with nausea and vomiting after renal surgery. These events occurred respectively one and two hours after surgery. They are believed to be caused by the transfer of large amounts of irrigating solution containing glycine 1.5%. The effects of hyponatraemia (132 and 129 mmol.L-1) and glycinaemia (3518 and 8589 mmol.L-1) are discussed. We conclude on the importance of an early clinical diagnosis completed by biological investigation to allow an adequate symptomatic management.

Enhanced Elimination of Poison
Antidotes serve a crucial role in counteracting the effects of poison by inhibiting enzymes responsible for producing harmful drug metabolites. In some cases, these toxic metabolites can be neutralized by endogenous cosubstrates, which are maintained at specific concentrations to prevent interaction with cellular macromolecules and subsequent cell death.
