Acute kidney injury (AKI) following self-poisoning with herbicides is common and an important predictor of mortality. Early diagnosis may reduce mortality if successful treatments are developed. AKI is diagnosed by changes in serum creatinine (sCr), a surrogate of glomerular filtration rate (GFR). This delays diagnosis and underestimates extent of injury, so use of sCr to diagnose nephrotoxicity is suboptimal. We prospectively studied Sri Lankan subjects admitted to hospitals following deliberate drug/chemical ingestion and after snake envenomation. This thesis focuses on two herbicides, paraquat and glyphosate. Firstly, we hypothesised that the abrupt increase in sCr following paraquat poisoning was so rapid and was unlikely to be due sol...
