Abstract
Snake bite poisoning is known to man since antiquity. It is a well-known occupational hazard amongst farmers, plantation workers, and other outdoor workers and results in much morbidity and mortality throughout the world. The acute renal failure in snake bite patients largely a preventable complication. So the patients with snake bite should be hospitalized and monitored for early detection of renal complications. This study is an attempt to analyze the clinical profile of snake bite patients and evaluation of acute renal failure in them. Causes of ARF in snakebite was multifactorial in origin. Bleeding and hypotension are among the important causes of ARF. Type of snakebite is another important factor in the development of ARF and Russell's viper bite is more commonly associated with ARF. Lapse of time in presenting to the hospital and abnormal coagulation profile are the predictors of poor outcome. ARF is usually associated with oliguria and generally occurs within 24 hours. Most of the ARF patients had recovered completely with effective management.
