A total of 107 Russell's viper bite victims admitted to the Renal Dialysis Unit of Yangon General Hospital in Myanmar during a one-year period were. studied. The study aimed at correlating different clinical criteria to the requirement of peritoneal dialysis (PO) and to the clinical outcome. Subconjunctival haemorrhage and gross haematuria were significantly associated with the requirement of PD. Mental changes, oedema, septicaemia, shock and the presence of PD indication(s) turned out to be significant correlates of poor clinical outcome (death). The causes of death in patients with and without PO were also analysed. The major causes of death in cases who died after PO were septicaemia; cerebral cause (coma, convulsions, confusion), and disseminated intravascular coagulation. In patients without PO, shock was the number one killer, followed by pulmonary oedema, and cardiac arrhythmias.
