Wcn24-967 Acute Kidney Injury Due to Adenia Ellenbeckii Poisoning. A Case Report

Poisoning is one of the common causes of self-harm. In rural areas, exposure to plants and their effects is responsible for a large number of unknown fatalities, especially in Africa. Adenia ellenbeckii is a monoecious shrub that grows primarily in the desert and tropical regions. The fruits of this plant are bright orange-red when ripe, and its decoction is used for treating wounds. It has also been mixed with meat to poison hyenas. It's rarely ingested by humans. We hereby report a case of four siblings who unintentionally ingested the fruits of the plant in the rural area of the east Togdheer region in northern Somaliland, one of whom progressed to acute kidney injury with a fatal outcome.
