Ethylene glycol poisoning is a rare poisoning resulting in elevated anion gap metabolic acidosis, due to the production of glycolic acid, glyoxylic acid, and oxalic acid by alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) in the liver when ethylene glycol is metabolized, characterized initially by euphoria, slurred speech, encephalopathy, coma and seizures, and followed by late manifestations such as tachycardia, arrhythmias, myocardial depression, hemodynamic imbalance and, finally, acute renal failure.
Biomarker and diagnostic research for ethylene glycol poisoning has been reported in the published literature.
Estimated prevalence: Unknown (Unknown prevalence).
No clinical trials have been registered for ethylene glycol poisoning.
