  • Title: Some aspects of calcium metabolism in a fatal case of ethylene glycol poisoning.
    Author: Simpson E.
    Journal: Ann Clin Biochem; 1985 Jan; 22 ( Pt 1)():90-3. PubMed ID: 3985563.
    Abstract:
    Laboratory results are presented for a patient who died following ingestion of an antifreeze solution containing ethylene glycol. It was observed that the measurement of osmolality, which is of value in the early stages of ethylene glycol poisoning, may give normal results if there are many hours delay between ingestion and admission. The hypocalcaemia which frequently accompanies ethylene glycol poisoning is shown to develop over several hours.
