INTRODUCTION: In Africa and Asia hair dye is applied together with henna to decorate the hands and feet. @entity7227 ( @entity10155 ), a highly toxic constituent of hair dye can lead to @entity810 ( @entity810 ). METHODS: A cohort study was conducted during the period from April 2012 to March 2013 in Khartoum Teaching Hospital, Sudan. It targeted adults presenting acutely with an evident history and clinical features of hair dye @entity4968 , together with @entity810 as per the RIFLE criteria. Analysis of data was done using SPSS. RESULTS: 30 adults were included, their mean age was 25.6    4.2 years, 93.3% were females. Exposure to @entity10155 was suicidal in 86.7%. The mean duration to onset of renal symptoms was 34.8    7.6 hours, maximum median serum @entity1011 was 8.6    2.3 mg/dl, 86.7% had @entity8 as per the RIFLE classification and required dialysis. @entity8 was seen after a mean duration of 9.8    2.2 days. One @entity1 died, 3.3%; all others, 96.7%, recovered normal kidney function. The amount of ingested @entity10155 correlated significantly to the severity of symptoms, number of dialysis sessions required and time for renal recovery with P values < 0.05. CONCLUSION: Hair dye @entity4968 was associated with prolonged hospital stay, requirement of dialysis and increased morbidity. The severity of symptoms directly correlates to the dose of @entity10155 ingested, with the @entity8 being reversible in almost all survivors.
