Abstract EN
Malaria has protean clinical manifestations and renal complications, particularly acute renal failure that could be life threatening.
To evaluate the incidence, clinical profile, outcome and predictors of mortality in patients with malarial acute renal failure, we retrospectively studied the last two years records of malaria induced acute renal failure in patients with peripheral smear positive for malarial parasites.
One hundred (10.4%) (63 males, 37 females) malaria induced acute renal failure amongst 958 cases of acute renal failure were evaluated.
Plasmodium (P).
falciparum was reported in 85%, P.
vivax in 2%, and both in 13% patients.
The mean serum creatinine was 9.2 ± 4.2 mg%, and oligo/anuria was present in 82%; 78% of the patients required hemodialysis.
Sixty four percent of the patients recovered completely, 10% incompletely, and 5% developed chronic kidney failure; mortality occurred in 21% of the patients.
Low hemoglobin, oligo/anuria on admission, hyperbilirubinemia, cerebral malaria, disseminated intravascular coagulation, and high serum creatinine were the main predictors of mortality.
We conclude that malaria is associated with acute renal failure, which occurs most commonly in plasmodium falciparum infected patients.
Early diagnosis and prompt dialysis with supportive management can reduce morality and enhance recovery of renal function.
