Apakah itu?
Sweet antifreeze/de-icer. Liver metabolites cause severe metabolic acidosis and renal tubular necrosis with calcium oxalate crystals. Minutes matter.
Punca dan faktor risiko
Automotive antifreeze, some washer fluids. Outdoor access to garages. Cats: ~1 teaspoon can kill; dogs: a few tablespoons.
Tanda
- Phase 1 (0.5-12 h): ataxia, vomiting, polyuria/polydipsia ("drunk")
- Phase 2 (12-24 h): seeming improvement but tachycardia/tachypnea
- Phase 3 (12-72 h): severe depression, anuria, seizures, uremic breath

Fasa awal seperti mabuk: goyah.
Diagnostik
Rapid ethylene glycol blood screen (early only), urinalysis for oxalate crystals, chemistry/blood gas for azotemia and high anion-gap acidosis.

Saringan darah pantas sebelum metabolisme penuh.
Rawatan
Antidotes: preferred Fomepizole; if unavailable Ethanol. Never combine. Aggressive IV fluids; hemodialysis if available.
Prognosis
Dogs: good if antidote within ~8 h. Cats: good only within ~3 h; delay beyond ~4 h nearly always fatal without hemodialysis.
Pencegahan
Seal antifreeze high and dry; clean spills immediately; prefer propylene-glycol coolants; leash walks; keep cats indoors.
Bila hubungi
Any suspected antifreeze exposure is Level-5 emergency. Do not wait for "drunk" signs; go to ER now.
