Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric renal failure following cardioversion and CPR for acute MI.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 50-year-old man suffered an MI with VFIB at work, and efforts at resuscitation were initiated immediately. Ninety minutes of CPR and 14 cardioversions were given by trained personnel before VFIB converted to sinus rhythm. Reversible myoglobinuric renal failure ensued, requiring two weeks of hemodialysis. Scanning with technetium-99m pyrophosphate revealed extensive muscle injury in the regions of cardioversion and a large anterolateral MI. Prolonged resuscitative efforts involving repeated cardioversion may predispose to myoglobinuric renal failure.

A Study on the Effect of Cimetidine on Myoglobinuric Acute Kidney Injury in Male Rats
Introduction: Rhabdomyolysis-induced myoglobinuric acute renal failure accounts for about 10-40% of all cases of acute renal failure (ARF). Iron and Cytochrome P450 are involved in the pathogenesis of myoglobinuric ARF. The Aim of this Study: To explore the effect of cimetidine as a potent cytochrome P450 inhibitor on myoglobinuric ARF in rat. Methods: Twenty four rats were divided into 3 group...

Background: Rhabdomyolysis is frequently observed in patients admitted to the ICU. Rhabdomyolysis-induced myoglobinuric acute renal failure is one of the most common causes of death in this condition. Free radicals and nitric oxide are involved in the pathogenesis of myoglobinuric ARF. Aim of the Study: To study the effect of L-carnitine as an antioxidant on mARF in rats. Methods: Twenty four r...
متن کاملRenal Replacement Therapy in Acute Kidney Failure due to Rhabdomyolysis
Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome caused by skeletal muscle cells destruction which can occur for many reasons, including prolonged immobilization. The main complication of the syndrome is the development of acute renal failure. Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria are responsible for approximately 5% of all causes of acute renal failure in the USA. The cause of rhabdomyolysis is often multifactorial, a...
متن کاملAmphetamine-induced myoglobinuric acute renal failure.
A 36-year-old man was admitted because of sopor and dark urine after intravenous amphetamine injection. He subsequently developed myoglobinuria and acute renal failure. Serum myoglobin value was remarkably elevated to 83,000 ng/ml, and urine myoglobin was 400,000 ng/ml. Renal biopsy revealed tubular degeneration and tubular obstruction with myoglobin casts by immunofluorescence examination. Amp...
