Envenoming by venomous snakes is an acute life threatening, time limiting medical emergency. Rapid assessment of acute hemorrhagic disorders, renal, neuro respiratory, and hemodynamic failure following a snake bite and prompt management can save lives. Antivenom is the denitive treatment, although the specic type of antivenom depends on the snake species.(1) Herein we report a case of a 60 year old female who presented with an unknown bite on her left leg , her initial parameters were normal and later on it developed into coagulopathy and AKI. The patient improved with antisnake venom, dialysis, and other supportive management.
