AbstractSerial measurements of plasma mercury were made in a patient with severe and prolonged acute renal failure due to poisoning with mercuric chloride. An initial mercury concentration in whole blood of 1200 micrograms/l (6 mumol/l) was recorded, and recovery of renal function coincided with a fall in plasma mercury concentration to below 100 micrograms/l (0.5 mumol/l). The case demonstrates that survival and recovery of renal function is possible despite very high concentrations of mercury in the blood and oliguric renal failure of nearly six weeks' duration.
