Abstract
Aluminum Phosphide (ALP) is an effective, cheap, and highly toxic pesticide. ALP poisoning can have destructive effects on the human body, such as the heart, lungs, gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, and central nervous system, although all organs can be involved. We describe a 53-year-old Iranian Kurdish man with Hemolytic Uremic Syndrome (HUS) and Acute Kidney Injury (AKI). Supportive treatments such as hemodialysis and plasmapheresis were performed. After 23 days of hospitalization, the patient fully recovered and was discharged. Thrombotic microangiopathy such as HUS should be considered in patients with ALP toxicity that has a genetic defect in complement proteins. Combined use of hemodialysis and plasmapheresis improve outcomes in these patients.
