Abstract
Snake venom poisoning accounted for 1·4% of 4360 infants and children admitted to a south Indian hospital during the years 1976–1979 and was the commonest cause of acute renal failure encountered. Most of the 42 children with anuria following snake bite had evidence of intravascular coagulation and acute tubular necrosis. Russell's viper was the only snake recognized in all the cases of anuria in which species identification was possible. Renal failure complicating snake bite was relatively more frequent and more severe in children than in adults.Keywords
