Article Synopsis
- Two patients, aged 39 and 70, experienced severe kidney damage (AKI) and blood issues (coagulopathy) after envenomation and were treated with anti-venom and blood products.
- Both patients developed symptoms of hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS)-like thrombotic microangiopathy, which included dangerously low platelet counts and signs of kidney failure.
- They were successfully treated with hemodialysis and plasmapheresis, eventually recovering their kidney function and platelet counts after several treatments.
