Upon contact with calcium in the urine, oxalate forms calcium oxalate crystals, which can cause kidney damage and even acute kidney injury. 📚 This study refines the findings of an earlier Israeli study (source: https://lnkd.in/dfC4k3yW), which showed a link between the use of hair straighteners containing glycolic acid and episodes of acute kidney injury. ⚠️ The French study concluded that glyoxylic acid should be avoided and ideally withdrawn from the market. Therefore, it's crucial that we raise awareness about this issue, particularly among kidney pathology specialists. 💄 Here's a list of cosmetic products containing glyoxylic acid. Please share this information with your patients and colleagues to help protect kidney health. 🤝 NEPHROKIT: We share much more than the most efficient range of hemodialysis vascular access protections. #alert #healh #cosmetics #glyoxylic #acid #glyoxylicacid #kidney #failure #acute #aki #dialysis #hemodialysis #wearenephrokit #madeinfrance
