Eastern Brown is responsible for most bites in Aus.
It has one of the most potent snake toxins on the planet
comprising of Neurotoxins (presynaptic and postsynaptic)
and powerful Procoagulants.
Most bites are 'dry bites' but in cases of severe envenomation ,
clinical effects are likely to be Coagulopathy/defribination
and Renal impairment or failure, with much less likelyhood
of respiratory failure. The venom is not known for myotoxic
or necrotoxic mechanism of action.
Data on severe envenomation cases:
5% have cardiac arrest(secondary cardiotoxicity)
10% Thrombotic microangiopathy(TMA)
(a pathophysiological condition that majorly
contributes to renal failure)
