“…Apart from secondary plant intoxications, we also find envenomations by snakebite [ 111 ]. A Togolese study of 376 patients hospitalised for snakebite found that 12.2% had AKI, all classified as KDIGO stage 3 [ 122 ]. The suspected mechanisms were rhabdomyolysis, thrombotic microangiopathy and disseminated intravascular coagulation in 50%, 33%, and 17% of cases respectively and the case fatality of AKI during snakebite envenomations was 58.7% [ 122 ].…”

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a complex condition that can occur in both community and hospital settings and has many aetiologies. These aetiologies may be infectious, toxic, surgical, or related to the different management methods. Although it is a major public health problem worldwide, it must be emphasised that both its incidence and mortality rate appear to be very high in sub-Saharan African (SSA) countries compared to developed countries. The profile of AKI is very different from that of more developed countries. There are no reliable statistics on the incidence of AKI in SSA. Infections (malaria, HIV, diarrhoeal, and other diseases), nephrotoxins, and obstetric and surgical complications are the main aetiologies in Africa. The management of AKI is costly and associated with high rates of prolonged hospitalisation and in-hospital mortality.
