Résumé
Snake bite continues to be a significant cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in India. There is paucity of data regarding long-term outcomes of such patients. In this study, we aim to assess the prognosis and long-term renal outcomes of such patients. We analysed the hospital records of snake envenomation-induced AKI from January 2015 to December 2018. Predictors of in-hospital mortality were assessed. Survivors were advised to visit follow-up clinic to assess their kidney function. There were 769 patients with evidence of envenomation and of them, 159 (20.7%) had AKI. There were 112 (70.4%) males. Mortality occurred in 9.4% of patients. Logistic regression analysis identified shock (OR 51.949, 95% CI 4.297 to 628.072) and thrombocytopenia (OR 27.248, 95% CI 3.276 to 226.609) as predictors of mortality. Forty-three patients attended the follow-up. The mean follow-up duration was 30.4±15.23 months. Adverse renal outcomes (eGFR <60 mL/min/1.73 m The incidence of AKI in snake envenomation was 20.7%. The presence of shock and thrombocytopenia were associated with mortality. Adverse renal outcomes occurred in 48.8% of patients in the long term.

Snake bite continues to be a significant cause of acute kidney injury (AKI) in India. There is paucity of data regarding long-term outcomes of such patients. In this study, we aim to assess the prognosis and long-term renal outcomes of such patients.

CONCLUSIONS
The incidence of AKI in snake envenomation was 20.7%. The presence of shock and thrombocytopenia were associated with mortality. Adverse renal outcomes occurred in 48.8% of patients in the long term.
