AB Brake oil is an automobile transmission fluid composed of a mixture of toxic glycols and glycol ethers. Three cases of poisoning with toxic glycol based brake fluid are reported who presented with mild metabolic acidosis and acute renal failure. As all the cases had presented late, treatment with ethanol was not started. All of them were treated successfully with haemodialysis.
