• We describe a 66-year-old woman undergoing hemodialysis treatment who developed life-threatening metabolic acidosis (pH of 6.67) with a high anion gap (41 mEq/L [41 mmol/L]) and marked hyperkalemia (9.1 mEq/L [9.1 mmol/L]) after consuming sulfur. Because of an increasing number of patients with chronic renal failure and dialysis-dependent end-stage renal disease, as well as persistence of folk remedies using sulfur, recognition of the potential dangers of self-administered sulfur seems appropriate.(Arch Intern Med 1986;146:1437-1438) |
