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.
蛇咬伤引起的肾脏并发症会导致高死亡率和高发病率。5%至30%的病例会发生急性肾损伤(AKI)。肾脏表现可能包括急性肾小管坏死、皮质坏死、间质性肾炎、肾小球肾炎和血管炎。我们报告一例导致肾皮质坏死的血栓性微血管病(TMA)病例。肾活检显示肾小球和小动脉中有纤维蛋白血栓,并伴有皮质坏死。我们的患者进展为终末期肾病。
