Objectives:
To determine the frequency and risk factors of acute kidney injury in children with Russell’s viper envenomation using Acute Kidney Injury Network definition and classification system.Methods:
A prospective observational study recruiting 61 subjects managed as per the National Snakebite Protocol.Results:
45.9% of envenomed children had acute kidney injury. The median (IQR) of the maximum serum creatinine level during hospitalization was 2 (1.3-4.8) mg/dL. The distribution of stages 1, 2 and 3 of acute kidney injury was 32.1%, 17.9% and 50% respectively. Dialysis was required in 35.7% of the children with acute kidney injury.Conclusions:
Acute kidney injury is common with Russell’s viper envenomation. Native treatments and bleeding manifestations were associated with acute kidney injury in our patient population.
