Snake bites can
result in local and systemic complications. Haemolytic uraemic syndrome is an acute illness characterized by the occurance of
renal injury, haemolytic anaemia with red cell fragmentation. CASE PRESENTATION: We present a case of 25 year old male
patient from rural area who presented with a history of having been bitten by a snake(Russells viper) without any first-aid, the
patient went to local hospital after 1 hour where he was treated with 3 vials of anti-venom and these inappropriate dose and
delay in administration of anti-venom, the patient developed anuria, haematuria, haematemesis(10ml), right upper limb edema
and then he was referred to tertiary care hospital and further treatment was given to the patient and his condition was improved
at the time of discharge. CONCLUSION: Snake bite is a significant health problem in India, particularly in the rural areas.In
general, snake bites accounts for about 45900 deaths every year and 3% of total AKI reported in India. AKI complicates the
course of viper bite in 5-30%.We reported a case of snake envenomation induced Haemolytic uraemic syndrome with AKI.
Hence, a better awareness of HUS and its early identification can contribute to a more tailored approach in the management
and better prognosis for the patient.</Abstract><Email>kusamharika239@gmail.com</Email><articletype>Research</articletype><volume>10</volume><issue>2</issue><year>2020</year><keyword> Acute Kidney injury,Haemolytic uraemic syndrome,Anti-snake venom,Thrombotic microangiopathy</keyword><AUTHORS>Dr. Kusam Harika,Shaik Kulsumbi, Yalla Divya Chowdary, Bathula Kalyan Rao</AUTHORS><afflication>Pharm D graduate, Krishna Teja college of pharmacy, Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh, India,Pharm D students, Vishwa Bharati College of pharmaceutical sciences, Perecherla, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India,Pharm D students, Vishwa Bharati College of pharmaceutical sciences, Perecherla, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India,Pharm D students, Vishwa Bharati College of pharmaceutical sciences, Perecherla, Guntur, Andhra Pradesh, India</afflication></Article></Articles>
