Early identification of acute kidney injury in Russell's viper (Daboia russelii) envenoming using renal biomarkers

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication of snake envenoming, but early diagnosis remains problematic. We aimed to investigate the time course of novel renal biomarkers in AKI following Russell's viper (Daboia russelii) bites. We recruited a cohort of patients with definite Russell...

Zusammenfassung:Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a major complication of snake envenoming, but early diagnosis remains problematic. We aimed to investigate the time course of novel renal biomarkers in AKI following Russell's viper (Daboia russelii) bites. We recruited a cohort of patients with definite Russell's viper envenoming and collected serial blood and urine samples on admission (
