TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Renal and hepatic changes in a case of envenomation by snake bite: case report and review of literature JO - Indian journal of pathology and microbiology A1 - Paliwal, Gourang A1 - Prakash, Sudeep A1 - Kashif, A. W. SP - 934 EP - 937 VL - 65 IS - 4 N2 - 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.
