abstract="BACKGROUND: Snake bite continues to be an important public health problem in tropical countries, and Russell's viper is common in south-Asian countries such as India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar. CASE-DIAGNOSIS/TREATMENT: Russell's viper envenomation can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) by various mechanisms. Few studies address AKI following Russell's viper bite in the pediatric population. CONCLUSIONS: In this study, we report our center's 6-year experience of such pediatric patients and identify the poor prognostic factors.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
