Core Tip Acute kidney injury (AKI) due to snake bite is an important cause of community acquired tropical AKI. Clinicopathological spectrum of snake-induced AKI has changed. Intravascular hemolysis and rhabdomyolysis is common and is the main cause of AKI due to snake bite. AKI is severe and high proportion of patients requires renal replacement therapy. Complications of pneumonia/acute respiratory distress syndrome, seizure/encephalopathy, multi organ failure, the need for intensive care support and a shorter hospital stay are factors associated with mortality. On renal histology acute tubular necrosis and acute interstitial nephritis is common, renal cortical necrosis is rare. Early administration of anti-snake-venom and alkaline diuresis may help in prevention of AKI.
