The kidney histopathological spectrum of patients with kidney injury following snakebite envenomation in India: scoping review of five decades.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Snakebite is a public health problem leading to about 58,000 deaths every year in India. Kidney injury subsequent to snakebite envenomation is common with a reported prevalence of up to 32%. The current study aims to elucidate the spectrum of kidney histopathology in acute kidney injury (AKI) cases associated with snake bites.

Methods

We searched seven electronic database studies to identify studies describing the histopathological findings in the kidney with snakebite envenomation. Two reviewers independently conducted titles and abstract screening as well as full-text evaluation for the final inclusion decision. Data were extracted as per the standardized form. We conducted narrative synthesis. Studies done exclusively on autopsy findings, in vitro studies, an
