What happens when a person with kidney failure and uremia inhales bleach?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Nothing good: Inhaling bleach is a bad idea for anyone, especially someone with chronic illness. Bleach inhalation can cause lung swelling (pulmonary edema) and possibly lung scaring (fibrosis) if its bad enough.
