Abstract
Despite its frequent use in industry, acute poisoning by chromic acid has very rarely been reported. We report a patient who developed massi ve gastrointestinal hemorrhage, acute renal failure, and hepatic injur y following chromic acid ingestion, and subsequently died. Postmortem liver and kidney biopsies revealed centrilobular necrosis and severe a cute tubular necrosis, respectively.
