In mushroom poisoning, 3 out of every 100 patients die. In some poisonings, serious conditions occur that can lead to kidney and liver failure.
There are more than 6,000 mushroom species worldwide, and at least 100 of them are known to be life-threatening poisonous varieties.
In order to avoid the risk of poisoning, the consumption of mushrooms found in nature should be avoided and cultivated mushrooms should be preferred.
I wish our patients well and congratulate our teams who successfully performed the liver transplantation and treatments.’ made statements.
