Epidemic dropsy is a clinical state resulting from use of edible oils adulterated with Argemone mexicana seed oil. Sanguinarine and dihydrosanguinarine are two major toxic alkaloids of argemone oil, which cause widespread capillary dilatation, proliferation and increased capillary permeability.
Dropsy is a state resulting from the use of edible oils adulterated with Argemone mexicana seed oil. When the mustard oil is adulterated with argemone oil, proteinuria (specifically loss of albumin) occurs, which results in edema. It is a typical ‘impurities’ disease caused by an accumulation of waste products in the blood.
