Hemodialysis is safe for patients. She will require a kidney biopsy to find out the degree of kidney damage due to snake envenomation. Reports attached have no information related to kidney function status
Next Steps
Have to wait for improvement in kidney function. Until then, she has to be on hemodialysis
