TLDR
This is the first case of isopropyl alcohol ingestion in which "pseudo" renal failure has been described, and the patient had a spurious elevation of serum creatinine caused by the high acetone level.Abstract:
We have described a case of isopropyl alcohol intoxication with the confusing picture of normoglycemia and ketonuria, without evidence of metabolic acidosis. The patient also had a spurious elevation of serum creatinine caused by the high acetone level. The positive ketone test was secondary to high levels of acetone, the main metabolic product of isopropyl alcohol. This is the first case of isopropyl alcohol ingestion in which "pseudo" renal failure has been described.read more

Pharmacokinetic analysis of a case of isopropanol intoxication
TL;DR: Pharmacokinetic analysis showed that the elimination of both isopropanol and its major metabolite acetone obeyed apparent first-order kinetics with half-lives of 6.4 and 22.4 h, respectively, which contrast with the commonly held view that isOPropanol is slowly metabolized.

TL;DR: The patient with an altered mental status or concerning history warrants consideration of this potentially deadly ingestion of toxic alcohols and treatment considerations include alcohol dehydrogenase blockade and hemodialysis.
