Anandi C, Seenivasan M
Abstract :
Aim: The aim of this study is to study the prevalence of rhabdomyolysis in viper bite and the outcome of rhabdomyolysis associated renal failure. Methods: A prospective observational study was done in snake bite victims admitted in Government Mohan Kumaramangalam Medical college Hospital, Salem.Results: The total number of patients included in the study was 143. The total number of patient with acute kidney injury was 110. Rhabdomyolysis was noted in 52 (36.36%) patients. Nine patients underwent fasciotomy. The mean peak serum creatinine in the fasciotomy group was 2.3±1.46, when compared to 5.38±3.37 in those who did not underwent fasciotomy which was significant (P=0.01). Conclusion: The manifestation of AKI in snake bite victims with rhabdomyolysis is similar to those without rhabdomyolysis. Fasciotomy should be used judiciously in snake bite victims with compartment syndrome to salvage renal function.
