Abstract
|
|
|
Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria are associated with acute renal failure. The cause of rhabdomyolysis is diverse: disturbance of muscle metabolism, alcohol abuse, primary muscle disease, sustained seizure, infection, drugs or toxins.
Rhabdomyolysis
is
abnormal clinical condition that myoglobin and other muscle cell components are released from injured muscle, and causes myoglobinuria and acute tubular necrosis.
A 30 year old man developed acute renal failure with rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria after sustained seizure due to alcohol withdrawal delirium. A conservative management of renal failure was failed and hemodialysis was done. He recovered
uneventfully
from renal shut down.
