Background: In India Vipera russelli (Russell's viper), is responsible for
a large number of snakebite cases 1 reaching 95% of envenomations in
the State of Jammu. V. russelli also are frequently encountered in India
and throughout south-east Asia. In Maharashtra State, in India, the
annual incidence of severe envenomation is about 70 per 100000
inhabitants and the mortality rate is about 2.4 per 100000 per year 2. It
has been reported that there are 5 million snake bites, resulting in 2.5
million envenoming, 125,000 deaths and perhaps three times that number
of permanent sequelae in the world each year. The incidence of snake bite
mortality is particularly high in Africa, Asia, Latin America and New
Guinea. In India alone there may be as many as 50,000 snake bite deaths
each year 3.It is well established that Viperid snake venoms induce
renal failure 4,5,6,7 and especially most of the patients comes from the
rural area. So in this perspective this study was important, as previously
no such recorded data
