Albuquerque, Polianna Lemos Moura MoreiraIntroduction: Envenomation by venomous snakes is a neglected disease in tropical countries. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the main causes of morbidity and mortality in these cases. The aim of this study was to investigate the occurrence of AKI by snake bites, to evaluate the clinical manifestations and classify the AKI and the involved risk factors. Methods: A retrospective study was conducted with patien...
