Abstract
CONCLUSION: 1. The prevalence of ARF among the cases of poisoning was 2.5%. 2. In the present study, among the big four (Russell’s viper, Sawscaled viper, Krait and Cobra) ARF was observed only in Russell’s viper bite. Eighteen percent of Russell’s viper bite went in for ARF. 3. Among 20 cases of copper sulphate poisoning two developed ARF (10%) and both expired. 4. The less common causes of ARF were one each following scorpion bite, wasp bite, hair dye, dichromate and indigenous medicine and two due to rodenticide. 5. The commonest predisposing factor for ARF in bites & stings was hemolysis, and that of chemical poisoning was hepatic failure. 6. Albuminuria was noticed in snake bite before the onset of overt renal dysfunction. 7. The predisposing factors adversely affected the outcome. 8. Patients with ARF due to bites and stings improved well than chemical poisoning.
