Higher fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio is associated with the severity of toxin associated acute kidney injury in high-altitude (3650 m) population: A retrospective analysis
The public needs to be well informed to minimize the chance of exposure to excessive medicine, wild vegetables, toxic mushrooms, and pesticides. Traditional Tibetan medicine, unique to this plateau region, requires professional guidance for its identification, processing, and dosage. Mental well-being in plateau areas must be prioritized, and regulatory oversight of pesticides and antipsychotic sedatives need to be strengthened to mitigate the risks of overdose and toxic exposure. The serum creatinine concentration in poisoned patients in plateau regions may be affected by the fibrinogen-to-albumin ratio. Therapy against microinflammation, higher uric acid and phosphate levels may prevent further kidney injury.
