Case Report: A case of acute kidney injury due to star fruit-infused liquor

Paper No results yet Peer reviewed

Key takeaways

This is a single case report: one person developed sudden kidney injury after drinking liquor infused with star fruit. Star fruit contains a toxin that damaged kidneys cannot clear, and it is a known danger for people with kidney disease. One case cannot tell you how often this happens or how risky the exposure is in general. The practical takeaway stands on its own: people with kidney disease are advised to avoid star fruit in any form.
