Methanol is a clear, colorless liquid with a smell and taste similar to ethanol. Intoxications with methanol are still frequent in large parts of the developing world. Hemodialysis should be done in severe toxicity to eliminate toxic metabolites. In this case report, we describe 37-year-old chronic alcohol abuser with methanol poisoning, who got hematuria and upper GI bleeding after hemodialysis. The upper GI endoscopic findings showed only low grade esophageal ulcer. Hematuria and upper GI bleeding in our patient might also have been due to the effect of heparinization during hemodialysis.References
