title: Acute kidney injury following Russell's viper bite in the pediatric population: a 6-year experience.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Snake bite continues to be an important public health problem in tropical countries, and Russell's viper is common in south-Asian countries such as India, Sri Lanka, and Myanmar.
  
  
  METHODS
  Russell's viper envenomation can cause acute kidney injury (AKI) by various mechanisms. Few studies address AKI following Russell's viper bite in the pediatric population.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  In this study, we report our center's 6-year experience of such pediatric patients and identify the poor prognostic factors.
