OBJECTIVE
Extreme elevations of serum aminotransferases (EESAT), defined as alanine transaminase (ALT) or aspartate transaminase (AST) level of above 3000 U/L, reflect severe liver injury and poor outcomes of the patients. This study aimed to evaluate the prevalence, etiology and clinical outcomes
It has been suggested that an application of a conducted electrical weapon (CEW) might cause muscle injury such as rhabdomyolysis and an acute inflammatory response. We explored this hypothesis by testing the effects of electrical weapons on circulating markers of inflammation and muscle damage. In
BACKGROUND Rhabdomyolysis syndrome is a rare surgical complication. It is infrequently reported in prolonged operations under lateral decubitus position. This syndrome mainly impacts kidney function and electrolytes levels; liver is another organ that is uncommonly affected. CASE REPORT A
A total of 30 horses were divided into two groups, one served as a control whereas other was rhabdomyolysis diseased horses. After blood collection, the resulted sera were used for estimation of the activities of creatin kinase (CK), aspartate transaminase (AST), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), lactic
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the occurrence rate, therapeutic effect and prognosis of rhabdomyolysis related acute renal failure(RM-ARF).
METHODS
Twenty-three patients were investigated, 17 male and 6 female, mean age was (38.00+/-17.13) years. The blood samples of 23 patients were analyzed, using a
BACKGROUND
Acute liver failure may be the first manifestation of Wilson disease. If copper elimination fails, liver transplantation is the only remaining therapeutic option. Albumin dialysis, a new method for the removal of protein-bound toxins, was performed in a patient with fulminant Wilson
BACKGROUND
Rhabdomyolysis is frequently complicated by multiple electrolyte abnormalities, including hyperkalemia, hyperphosphatemia, and hypo/hypercalcemia. Hypercalcemia can be severe and life-threatening.
METHODS
A 23-year-old white male suffered severe trauma to his lower extremities after a
Continuous veno-venous hemodialysis using high cutoff filters (HCO-CVVHD) is a promising technique, which may be effective to decrease the extremely high level of circulating myoglobin in patients with rhabdomyolysis (RM). Here, we report a patient with RM caused by heat stroke who was successfully
Summary: A 53-year-old man who used growth hormone (GH), anabolic steroids and testosterone (T) for over 20 years presented with severe constipation and hypercalcaemia. He had benign prostatic hyperplasia and renal stones but no
To elucidate the physiologic function of renal globotriaosylceramide (Gb3/CD77), which up-to-date has been associated exclusively with Shiga toxin binding, we have analyzed renal function in Gb3-deficient mice. Gb3 synthase KO (Gb3S-/-) mice displayed an increased renal albumin and low
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious disorder that accompanies rhabdomyolysis (RM). The underlying mechanisms as well as protective approaches need to be investigated. This study was targeted to explore the prophylactic effect of agmatine (AGM), an endogenous metabolite of l-arginine against
In a historical cohort study, acute renal failure developed in 16.5% of 157 patients with rhabdomyolysis over a two-year study period. Underlying clinical, laboratory, and causative factors associated with the development of acute renal failure were examined. Factors predictive of renal failure in
Rhabdomyolysis is a pathogenetic cause of acute kidney injury. In such circumstances, not only should therapeutic strategies to replace the failing kidney be implemented, but measures should also be explored to prevent further damage by circulating myoglobin. Volume expansion and forced diuresis
Rhabdomyolysis-associated acute kidney injury (AKI) is a serious life-threatening condition. As such, more effective strategies are needed for its prevention. Thioredoxin-1 (Trx), a redox-active and macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF) modulating protein, has a short retention time in the
This study evaluated the potential utility of albuminuria as a "biomarker" of acute kidney injury (AKI) and tested whether AKI induces renal expression of the normally silent albumin gene. Urine albumin concentrations were measured in mice with five different AKI models (maleate,
