Abstract:
Mushroom and fish bile toxins are the most representative toxins of food origin. According to the clinical manifestations, renal injury caused by mushroom toxins can be divided into early-, late-, and delayed-onset. Fish bile toxins mainly cause acute renal tubular necrosis and food contamination related to renal injury includes chemical and biological contamination. Urinary calculus and renal failure caused by "poisonous milk powder" is a typical, food-related chemical contamination event. E.coli contaminated cucumber caused hemolytic uremic syndrome in 3 493 people. Contamination of the food chain is spreading from land to sea and to sky. It requires the efforts of the whole society to prevent human food chain contamination.
