| Core Tip |
This systematic review is the first comprehensive synthesis of reported cases linking topical hair-straightening products to acute kidney injury (AKI). Analyzing 36 incidents of AKI in 34 female patients, the current study highlights that topical application of hair straightening chemicals can trigger AKI through mechanisms involving calcium oxalate nephropathy and/or interstitial nephritis. Most patients recovered with conservative or steroid-based therapy. The study underscores the need for clinician awareness and regulatory scrutiny, revealing that hair straightening products may not be as safe as presumed. |
