Evaluation of serum electrolytes and kidney function among untreated malaria (Plasmodium falciparum) patients in health centers, Konso zone, South Ethiopia
Malaria has a significant impact on kidney function (creatinine and urea) and serum electrolytes (Na<sup>+</sup> and K<sup>+</sup>). This may indicate that malaria is the determinant factor for developing kidney dysfunction and serum electrolyte imbalance. Hence, we recommend routine evaluation of these parameters in malaria-infected individuals.
