A 21-year-old gentleman, a worker in a mobile phone shop, was admitted with
rhabdomyolysis, renal failure, and pulmonary edema requiring mechanical
ventilation and hemodialysis. After extensive workup and ruling out other causes,
heavy metal poisoning was considered. Investigations during the course of the
hospital stay revealed chromium poisoning. With repeated hemodialysis, his
parameters normalized and he was discharged home in a stable condition. Diagnosis
of chromium toxicity needs high index of suspicion. A history of occupational
exposure might offer a clue to diagnosis. With hemodialysis and supportive care,
it is a potentially salvageable condition.
