Ren Fail. 2002 Nov;24(6):867-71. doi: 10.1081/jdi-120015689.

Abstract

Organophosphate is extremely uncommon cause of rhabdomyolysis. This article describe two cases with rhabdomyolysis induced acute renal failure complicating by monocrotophos, an organophosphate compound. First patient had rhabdomyolysis induced acute renal failure and subarachnoid hemorrhage. This is the first reported case of subarachnoid hemorrhage, which may be related with organophosphate intoxication in literature. Second patient described here had rhabdomyolysis induced acute renal failure after organophosphate overdose.
