Abstract: Body art by henna staining is a practice that is widely prevalent in the Middle East and Africa, and has been known to be in vogue for hundreds of years. The practice is also significant as a ceremonial custom for weddings and social gatherings. However, due to its natural components (Lawsone) and additives, including para-phenylene-diamine (PPD), henna has also been associated with a number of health hazards, including acute hemolysis and acute kidney injury (AKI). We report in this case, a female patient who presented with AKI and acute hemolytic anemia following excessive pre-wedding henna staining of her arms and legs.<br /> (Copyright © 2023 Copyright: © 2023 Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation.)
