Abstract

Objectives: to assess clinical and laboratory characteristics of patients with acute poisoning of glyphosate. Subjects and Methods: A observational study included 62 patients with acute glyphosate poisoning at the Poison Control Center of Bach Mai Hospital from January 2018 to July 2022. Results: Among Study patients, male accounted for 64.5%, mean age was 39.5 ± 12.3 years old, poisoning caused by suicide (100%). Clinical features: nausea - vomiting (62.9%), abdominal pain with bowel movements (37.1%), sore throat with increased salivation (11.3%), tachycardia (41.9%), hypotension (8.1%),  acute kidney injury (6.5%), respiratory failure (4.8%). Laboratory features: hypokalemia (43.5%), metabolic acidosis (19.4%), sinus tachycardia (41,9%), QTc prolongation (6.4%). Conlusion: Acute glyphosate poisoning is mainly gastrointestinal symptoms, some patients have signs of respiratory, circulatory and kidney damage.
