dc.description.abstractRenal failure is an important complication of snakebite and a major cause of mortality. We aimed to study the clinical profile of snake envenomation in Southeast Anatolia, Turkey, in an adult population. We retrospectively analyzed the records of 200 snakebite victims from 1998 to 2006 at the Dicle University School of Medicine, Diyarbakir, Turkey. Sixteen patients (8%) developed AKI (acute kidney injury). Of those, 25% required dialysis and 18% died. There was no difference between groups in age, arrival time to hospital, and hospital stay time. Both groups received similar hydration and therapy at admission. Disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) was observed in 25% of the AKI group and was significantly higher than the non-AKI group (7.1%; p = 0.014). There was no significant difference regarding hemoglobin, platelet levels, and prothrombin time at admission. The prevalence of thrombocytopenia (<150,000 K/UL ) was 60% in the AKI group and 40% in the non-AKI group (p > 0.05). WBC count was significantly higher in the AKI group than in those without AKI (p = 0.001); serum albumin was significantly lower in the AKI group than in those without AKI (p = 0.013). AKI is an important complication of snakebite that may lead to mortality. Despite some troublesome aspects due to its retrospective design, this is a large series from Southeast Anatolia of Turkey in an adult population. Subjects with high WBC, low albumin, and DIC should be closely followed up for the development of AKI.en_US
