Scorpion sting nephropathy

Abstract: Scorpion envenomations are ubiquitous, but nephropathy is a rare manifestation, reported mainly from the Middle East and North Africa. Rapid venom redistribution from blood, delayed excretion from the kidneys, direct toxicity of venom enzymes, cytokine release and afferent arteriolar constriction have been seen in experimental animals. Haemoglobinuria, acute tubular necrosis, interstitial nephritis and haemolytic–uraemic syndrome have been documented in human victims of scorpion envenomation. Epidemiology, ven… Show more

“…Scorpion stings can result in acute renal failure by multitude of factors. Direct venom toxicity to the tissues due to high molecular weight substances like hyaluronidase and sphingomyelinase is reported, potassium channel toxins may mediate vascular contraction by causing smooth muscle depolarization and hence afferent arteriolar vasoconstriction, systemic inflammatory response syndrome, complement activation, myocarditis and adrenergic mediated vasoconstriction may all reduce renal blood flow [6]. In addition haemoglobinuria-related pigment nephropathy [7], haemolytic uraemic syndrome [8] and acute interstitial nephritis [9] are also reported as causes of acute renal failure.…”

“…Bu zehirli akrep türleri ülke-mizde çoğunlukla Güney ve Güneydoğu Anadolu bölgelerinde bulunmaktadır. Akrep zehiri akrebin türüne bağlı olarak değişmek-le birlikte nörotoksinler, nefrotoksinler, kardiyotoksinler, hemolitik toksinler, histamin, asetil kolin esteraz, seratonin ve 5-hidroksitriptamin içerebilir, lokal ve sistemik belirtilere neden olabilir (6). Ülkemizde yaz aylarında birçok akrep sokma olgusu görülme-sine rağmen akrep sokmasına bağlı böbrek hasarı çok nadir görülen bir durumdur.…”

“…Ülkemizde yaz aylarında birçok akrep sokma olgusu görülme-sine rağmen akrep sokmasına bağlı böbrek hasarı çok nadir görülen bir durumdur. Oluş mekanizması net olmamakla birlikte akrep zehiri en çok direkt renal hasar, tübülointers-tisyel nefrit, rabdomiyoliz, hemolitik üremik sendrom ve hipovolemiye yol açarak böbrek yetmezliği yapar (6)(7)(8)(9) Toksik nefropati nedenleri arasında en sık ilaçlar yer almaktadır. Özellikle nonsteroid antienflamatuvar ilaçlar, aminoglikozitler ve radyokontrast maddeler sık gördüğümüz grubu oluşturmaktadır.…”
