D-dimer testing for early detection of venom-induced consumption coagulopathy after snakebite in Australia (ASP-29)

Geoffrey K. Isbister et al.

Summary: This study assessed the accuracy and marginal value of quantitative D-dimer testing in diagnosing venom-induced consumption coagulopathy (VICC) in people bitten by Australian snakes. The results showed that D-dimer concentrations assessed within 2-6 hours after snakebite, with a cut-off value of 2.5 mg/L, could be useful for diagnosing envenoming with VICC.

Summary: In cases of Sri Lankan hump-nosed pit viper (Hypnalespp.) bites, AKI is a serious complication associated with TMA. Serum creatinine within 4 hours post-bite is the best predictor for AKI.

The 20-minute whole blood clotting test (20WBCT) for snakebite coagulopathy-A systematic review and meta-analysis of diagnostic test accuracy

Thomas Lamb et al.

Summary: The 20-minute whole blood clotting test (20WBCT) is highly specific and fairly sensitive in detecting coagulopathy following snakebite, especially in severe cases. Its diagnostic accuracy is improved when assessing for severe coagulopathy, but there is a need for local assessment of external validity due to heterogeneity in study findings.
