Abstract EN
Renal complications from snakebite result in high mortality and morbidity.
Acute kidney injury (AKI) occurs in 5–30% of cases.
Renal manifestation could include acute tubular necrosis, cortical necrosis, interstitial nephritis, glomerulonephritis, and vasculitis.
We present a case of thrombotic microangiopathy (TMA) resulting in renal cortical necrosis.
Renal biopsy showed fibrin thrombi in glomeruli and arterioles with cortical necrosis.
Our patient progressed to end-stage renal disease.
