abstract="Acute renal failure with hearing loss due to sodium bromate intoxication is described. A 48-year-old woman who ingested permanent wave neutralizer in a suicide attempt and developed anuria was admitted to our hospital for hemodialysis. Bromate intoxication was suspected and hemodialysis was carried out; she required maintenance dialysis 3 times a week. Irreversible severe sensorineural hearing loss continued and peripheral polyneuropathy developed in the lower limbs. We measured the concentration of bromine in the serum before and after the first hemodialysis and found its removal rate to be 61.3%. This is the first report that proved the utility of hemodialysis for bromate intoxication in a clinical setting.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
