Mercury: Complications of the disease

Complications can occur a shock (the organs no longer provide their essential function), resulting in:

Anuria (no urine) due to a breach of nephrons (the basic elements of renal filtration). These kidney problems occur 1-15 days after onset of intoxication.

Nervous disorders, resulting in tremors, athetosis (abnormal movements), seizures. These neurological signs may be accompanied by a coma, they are irreversible.
