Snake bite is a major health hazard, moreover in tropical countries where the density of snakes, frequent human contact, lack of diagnostic and treatment facilities further add-on to the high morbidity and mortality. No organ escapes the effect of envenomation from Heart to liver and kidney, CNS to local bite site. While the effect of snake venom on kidney has been documented, the literature available on the pathological effects of envenomation in human liver is lacking. We present a case of an elderly male with renal and hepatic manifestations of envenomation.
蛇咬伤是一个主要的健康危害,特别是在热带国家,那里蛇的密度高,人与蛇的频繁接触,缺乏诊断和治疗设施,进一步导致高发病率和死亡率。没有器官能逃脱蛇毒的影响,从心脏到肝脏和肾脏,从中枢神经系统到局部咬伤部位。虽然已经有文献记载了蛇毒对肾脏的影响,但关于蛇毒在人类肝脏中的病理影响的文献尚缺乏。我们报告了一例老年男性的肾和肝表现出蛇咬伤的病例。
