Snake bite envenomation is common in tropical countries during the summer. Snake bite-induced acute kidney injury (AKI) has varied histopathological manifestations such as acute cortical necrosis, acute tubular necrosis (ATN), and acute interstitial nephritis. However, snake bite-induced renal medullary angiitis has rarely been reported. We describe a nine-year-old child with AKI following viperine snake bite and renal biopsy revealed pigment cast nephropathy, ATN and medullary angiitis.
蛇咬伤中毒在热带国家的夏季很常见。蛇咬伤所致急性肾损伤(AKI)有多种组织病理学表现,如急性皮质坏死、急性肾小管坏死(ATN)和急性间质性肾炎。然而,蛇咬伤所致肾髓质血管炎鲜有报道。我们描述了一名9岁儿童,在被蝰蛇咬伤后发生AKI,肾活检显示色素管型肾病、ATN和髓质血管炎。
