Dicamba, a broad-spectrum chlorobenzoic acid herbicide, is considered a moderately dangerous subtance for human. Dicamba poisoning is uncommon but may produce serious and sometimes fatal sequelae such as prolonged coma and acidemia. Renal failure occurred infrequently, usually in association with hypovolemic shock or rhabdomyolysis. We report a case of rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure after dicamba ingestion in a previously healthy 58-year-old man, which was successfully treated with 9-day hemodialysis and supportive care.
