abstract="OBJECTIVE: To determine the frequency and risk factors of acute kidney injury in children with Russells viper envenomation using Acute Kidney Injury Network definition and classification system. <br><br>METHODS: A prospective observational study recruiting 61 subjects managed as per the National Snakebite Protocol. <br><br>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. <br><br>CONCLUSION: Acute kidney injury is common with Russells viper envenomation. Native treatments and bleeding manifestations were associated with acute kidney injury in our patient population.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
