“…Indeed, AKI is not well studied in schistosomiasis and its pathophysiology is not fully understood. Some authors suggest that it is a nephropathy secondary to deposition of circulating immune complexes or their in-situ formation initiated by schistosomal antigen, while other factors such as autoimmunity may be involved in the progression of the disease [ 81 , 82 ].…”

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.
