Objectives: Everybody’s talking about diquat, the big shot herbicide that’s taken paraquat’s place. But let me tell you, it’s causing a lot of trouble with poisonings. Paraquat was bad for the lungs, but diquat? It’s going after the kidneys, big time. Autopsies and tests on animals are showing us that the kidneys are getting hit hard, especially the tissue around them. Diquat’s everywhere now, on land and in the water, but nobody’s really looked at what it does to human kidneys up close. Methods: So, we rolled up our sleeves and took a deep dive into a young guy’s kidneys after diquat knocked him down with acute kidney injury. We’re talking a real close look here, a renal biopsy. Results: You won’t believe it, but the damage isn’t what we thought. Instead of just inflammation, we’re seeing fat going wild and the tubules in the kidneys taking a serious beating, with just a little bit of inflammation. Conclusions: This is a first, folks. We’re the first to show you the inside story of kidneys on diquat. This is huge. It’s going to change the game for treating people poisoned by this stuff. We’re making kidney care great again!
