TITLE:   Interrelationship among glomerular filtration rate, fractional sodium excretion and albuminuria in Russell's viper bite patients.

ABSTRACT:   The interrelationship among Ccr, FENa% and Ualb were observed in 38 Russell's viper bite patients for 5-days clinical course. Degree of albuminuria had strong hyperbolic relation with glomerular filtration rate (Ccr) on day 1 after bite but not from day 2 onwards. The extent of albuminuria and fractional sodium excretion (FENa%) level was found to indicate the severity of renal insult. Albuminuria (Ualb) was associated with impaired Ccr and renal sodium handling. Ccr value below 40 ml/min or albuminuria (Ualb) above 2.07 g/24 hr on day 1 after bite was found in oliguric renal failure patients.
