Abstract
Conclusions
1. The acute kidney injury which develops late in poisoning by bichloride of mercury does not show any dependence in the frequency with which it occurs with the severity of the mercury enteritis.
2. The delayed kidney injury in acute bichloride intoxications has been constantly associated with the development of an acid intoxication. The severity of the damage to the cells of the convoluted tubules and the extent of fatty infiltration in the cells of the ascending limb of Henle's loop show a correlation with the degree of acid intoxication.
