Correlation of biomarkers for parasite burden and immune activation with acute kidney injury in severe falciparum malaria.
BACKGROUND: Acute kidney injury (AKI) complicating severe Plasmodium falciparum malaria occurs in up to 40% of adult patients. The case fatality rate reaches 75% in the absence of renal replacement therapy (RRT). The precise pathophysiology of AKI in falciparum malaria remains unclear. Histopatholog...
