Description
Summary:There was no history of abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, breathlessness, cough, decreased urine output, visual disturbances or changes in affect. [6] Hemodialysis with or without l-cysteine as a chelating agent can be used in patients with acute renal failure. Since mercury thermometers carry the hazard of accidental inoculation and systemic toxicity, digital thermometers have been recommended as an alternative, which also have the added advantage of being more accurate.
