Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Snakebite envenomation is a signicant global health concern, particularly in tropical and subtropical regions. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common and serious complication, leading to increased morbidity and mortality. The pathophysiology of snakebite-mediated AKI involves direct nephrotoxicity, hemotoxicity, rhabdomyolysis, and immune-mediated mechanisms. Early diagnosis and prompt management are crucial to improving outcomes. This review explores the mechanisms, clinical presentation, diagnostic approach, and therapeutic strategies for AKI following snakebite envenomation.
