The case is described of a 56 year old patient admitted to hospital with rhabdomyolysis without myoglobinuria and caused by hypokalaemia following the ingestion of liquorice. The patient was treated with L. Carnitine chloride and KCl.
One hundred and eighteen patients undergoing surgical procedures not requiring immediate tracheal intubation, nor producing visceral reflexes, were pretreated with d-tubocurarine 6 mg, three minutes before the administration of a bolus of succinylcholine (2 mg/kg). Electrocardiographic changes,
Myoglobinuria secondary to hypopotassemia was noted in a hypertensive patient treated for a long period with diuretics (chlorthalidone and indapamide). The picture included hypokalemic myopathy, with myoglobinuria, an increase in serum enzymes related by rhabdomyolysis, and flaccid paralysis. In
Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria occur commonly in men who sustain environmental heat injury during intensive physical training in hot climates. These also occur in patients with potassium depletion. Since physical training in hot climates may be accompanied by serious losses of body potassium, the
A 74-year-old male was admitted to hospital with acute rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria due to hypokalemia. The hypokalemia resulted from diuretic treatment. He had no family history of myopathy, and no diarrhea and vomiting. The neurological examination revealed painful quadriplegia. The blood
Malignant hyperthermia developed in a 4-year-old Thoroughbred horse following 3 hours and 15 minutes of halothane anesthesia, with supplementary succinylcholine. Clinical signs included fever, sweating, hyperventilation, tachycardia, and decreased blood pressure followed by a rapid increase in blood
Exercise induces profound changes in the renal haemodynamics and in electrolyte and protein excretion. Effective renal plasma flow is reduced during exercise. The reduction is related to the intensity of exercise and renal blood flow may fall to 25% of the resting value when strenuous work is
We report on a patient with neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS) caused by a therapy for endogenous depression. The symptoms were hyperpyrexia (39.2 degrees C), rigidity, elevated creatine kinase (CK: 594 U/l) and coma. After transfer from an outside hospital, he was treated, at first without effect
CASE DESCRIPTION - A 6-year-old castrated male Llewelyn Setter was evaluated because of an acute onset of myalgia and respiratory distress. CLINICAL FINDINGS - Physical examination revealed a stiff stilted gait, swollen muscles that appeared to cause signs of pain, panting, and ptyalism. The dog had
Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by skeletal muscle injury resulting in the release of intracellular proteins (such as myoglobin) and electrolytes into the blood circulation, which cause acute kidney injury, myoglobinuria and electrolyte imbalances. Clinical diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis is made on the
We report two boys aged 4 and 10 months who suffered cardiac arrests after induction of anaesthesia. Both infants had no personal or family history of myopathy. In both cases anaesthesia was induced by inhalation with halothane and N2O/O2 (70/30). To facilitate tracheal intubation both were given
Exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER) is the breakdown of skeletal muscle tissue following intense physical activity that results in impairment of the cell membrane, which allows intracellular contents to be released into the bloodstream. Signs and symptoms include myalgia, myoglobinuria and increased
From 1971 to 1975, inclusive, 594 pronghorns (Antilocapra americana) were drive trapped in Alberta; subsequently, 74 of these animals were transported to enclosures. Deaths attributable to capture myopathy (CM) occurred in 20 of the trapped pronghorns and in 17 of the pronghorns that were trapped
Status epilepticus can lead to impaired renal function, which has been attributed to complications of myoglobinuria. We confirmed changes in renal function in the absence of myoglobinuria by measuring renal hemodynamics, fluid and electrolyte excretions, and plasma levels of renin and atrial
