RESUMEN

El etilenglicol es un alcohol usado en la industria como anticongelante y solvente. Es causa frecuente de intoxicación intencionada o accidental. Sus metabolitos son responsables de los efectos tóxicos, de los cuales son característicos la acidosis metabólica de brecha aniónica amplia, la insuficiencia renal aguda y las alteraciones neurológicas. La presencia de cristales de oxalato de calcio en la orina es un hallazgo característico que orienta al diagnóstico. El tratamiento consiste en: reanimación, corrección de la acidosis metabólica, hemodiálisis, inhibición del metabolismo del etilenglicol y medidas de sostén.
