ABSTRACT

Rhabdomyolysis (RD) is the process that leads to cell destruction of striated muscle. Causes include inherited metabolic defects or acquired disorders. RD is frequently associated with acute kidney injury (AKI) and disorders of calcium metabolism. We report a 33 year old man that after amphetamine consumption and an uninterrupted 3,000 km driving presented vomiting, muscle pain and dark urine. He had elevated creatinkinase levels, severe hypocalcemia and an acute renal failure. He was treated with hemodialysis and calcitriol. He was transferred to our hospital and on admission a serum calcium of 18 mg/dl was detected. He continued on hemodialysis, recovering renal function and with normalization of creatinkinase levels and serum calcium level.

ABSTRACT

Rabdomiólise é uma síndrome que leva a lesão da célula musculoesquelética com liberação dos componentes celulares para a corrente sanguínea. Tem como um dos principais causadores a atividade muscular exaustiva e extenuante, especialmente em indivíduos não condicionados. A lista de etiologias é constantemente expandida à medida que se aprofundam os estudos sobre o tema. Essa pesquisa teve como objetivo analisar as consequências, causas e processos potencializadores de rabdomiólise em militares, com implicações na Saúde Pública. Como percurso metodológico utilizou-se a revisão integrativa, pois esta permite explorar o conhecimento científico já produzido, através de etapas metodológicas que possibilitam buscar, avaliar e sintetizar as evidências, contribuindo com o desenvolvimento do conhecimento. Foram selecionados 25 estudos nas bases de dados Pubmed, Lilacs, Scopus, Cochrane e Scielo, que demonstraram uma tendência para atividade física extenuante como a principal causa da rabdomiólise em 76,5 por cento das amostras, destacaram-se como potencializadores as alterações genéticas e calor, ambas como 41,6 por cento e como principal consequência a insuficiência renal aguda com 84,6 por cento. Concluiu-se que o conhecimento ainda insatisfatório apresentado sobre esta síndrome merece atenção, visto que, a rabdomiólise é majoritariamente conhecida em meio militar. Assim, a conscientização sobre a necessidade de futuros estudos é necessária para a expansão e divulgação do conhecimento acerca da rabdomiólise, facilitando assim, o monitoramento e prevenção de riscos em decorrência do esforço muscular intenso em outras categorias de trabalhadores sujeitas a atividades laborais similares às atividades militares, tornando-se, assim, um importante fator para o desenvolvimento da saúde pública.


Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome that leads to skeletal muscle cell injury with liberation of cell components to the blood. One of its major causes is exhaustive and extenuating physical activities, especially in non-conditioned individuals. Several conditions and diseases may lead to rhabdomyolysis and its list of causes is constantly being updated. This research’s goals is to analyze the consequences, causes and intensifying factors of rhabdomyolysis in military personnel, with Public Health implications. The methodology used for this research was the integrative revision, which allows exploring of the current scientific knowledge, through searching, evaluating and synthetizing of the evidences, contributing to the development of the knowledge. Twenty-five studies were selected in the Pubmed, Lilacs, Scopus, Cochrane and Scielo databases, which showed a tendency of extenuating physical activity as the main cause of rhabdomyolysis in 76,5 percent of the cases, the heat and genetic changes as worsening factor both in 41,6 percent, and the main consequence of acute renal insufficiency in 84,6 percent. It was concluded that the still unsatisfactory knowledge of this syndrome deserves attention, as rhabdomyolysis is mainly known in the Armed Forced. This shows that the need of future studies about rhabdomyolysis would facilitate the monitoring and prevention of risks due to intense muscular activity in other classes of workers subjected to similar working activities to those of military personnel, becoming an important factor to the development of public health.

ABSTRACT

Cholangitis and cholecystitis are intra-abdominal infections that show poor prognosis upon progression to sepsis and multiorgan failure. Administration of antibiotics with high antimicrobial susceptibility and removal of infected bile at the initial treatment are important. After undergoing ERCP for diagnostic purposes, a 58-year-old man developed acute cholangitis and cholecystitis accompanied by rhabdomyolysis, multi-organ failure, and severe sepsis. Broad-spectrum antibiotics with bedside endoscopic nasobiliary drainage were administered, but clinical symptoms did not improve. Therefore, bedside EUS-guided transgastric gallbladder aspiration and lavage was performed, resulting in successful treatment of the patient. We report the above described case along with a discussion of relevant literature.

ABSTRACT

Rabdomiólise é uma síndrome que afeta a musculatura estriada esquelética que apresenta um amplo espectro de sintomas clínicos e achados laboratoriais. Decorre, basicamente, da lesão das células musculares, com liberação do conteúdo citoplasmático para a corrente sanguínea e devido a essa situação gerar complicações com alto potencial de morbi-mortalidade, como insuficiência renal aguda. O diagnóstico, baseado em suspeita clínica e em achados laboratoriais, deve ser feito o mais precocemente possível, para buscar a redução das complicações inerentes à síndrome. É relatado caso de paciente com rabdomiólise secundária a exercício físico intenso, que apresentou resolução, sem repercussões de maior morbidade com o tratamento adequado.


Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome that affects the skeletal striated musculature and presents a wide range of clinical symptoms and laboratory findings. It is primarily a result of injury to muscle cells with release of the cytoplasmic content into the blood flow and thereby generating complications with a high risk of morbidity and mortality including acute kidney failure. The diagnosis, based on clinical suspicion and laboratory findings, must be made as early as possible in order to reduce the complications inherent in the syndrome. Here we report the case of a patient with rhabdomyolysis secondary to intense physical effort, which was successfully resolved with proper treatment without any repercussions of major morbidity.

ABSTRACT

La rabdomiólisis es un síndrome clínico y de laboratorio provocado por la acumulación de sustancias tóxicas por necrosis del músculo esquelético. La causa tradicionalmente descripta ha sido el trauma. Su manifestación clínica puede variar desde la elevación asintomática de la CPK hasta la insuficiencia renal y la muerte. El éxito del tratamiento radica en una rápida sospecha clínica, la hidratación parenteral enérgica y la corrección de las alteraciones electrolíticas. Se presenta el caso de un paciente de 40 años, con un infarto anterior, que fue sometido a múltiples cardioversiones eléctricas por fibrilación ventricular y maniobras de reanimación cardiopulmonar y que presentó rabdomiólisis, con buena evolución posterior.


Rhabdomyolisis is a clinical and biochemical syndrome caused by the accumulation of toxic substances due to necrosis of skeletal muscle cells. Trauma has been considered the most common cause. The clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic CK rise to renal failure and death. A successful treatment lies on a prompt clinical suspicion, an intense intravenous volume overload and correction of electrolytic imbalance. Here we present the case of a 40 year old man with an anterior acute myocardial infarction who underwent multiple electric shocks for ventricular fibrillation and CPR maneuvers with ensuing rhabdomyolisis and eventually a good late outcome.

ABSTRACT

Renal failure secondary to effort rhabdomyolysis is uncommon. We report three males age 28, 37 (military sportsmen) and 44 years (sedentary obese), with this condition. Episodes occurred after a training session to run a triathlon, during the course of a mini marathon and during a rescue attempt of a drowning person. All three subjects experienced intense muscle symptoms, hemoglubinuria, oliguria, rise of blood urea nitrogen and a significant rise in muscle enzymes. Creatinekinase reached a maximum of 41 times normal, aspartate aminotransferase a maximum 35 times normal and lactacte dehydrogenase a maximum of 11 times normal. There was a rapid elevation of serum creatinine, reaching values of 6.6 and 9.8 mg/dl on the third day after the physical effort. This parameter had a disproportionate elevation in relation to urea nitrogen, in two subjects. All subjects were managed with saline hydration, sodium bicarbonate and furosemide. Only one required hemodialysis for two days. All normalized their renal function 18 to 48 days after the physical exertion. No subject had other predisposing conditions for acute renal failure.

ABSTRACT

A 25-year-old housewife who presented with Mycoplasma pneumonia who developed acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and required assisted ventilation. During her hospital stay, she developed acute renal failure because of rhabdomyolysis and was put on haemodialysis. She also had difficulty in weaning from ventilator because of acute motor-sensory axonal neuropathy (AMSAN) variant of the Guillain-Barre syndrome. The patient was treated with antibiotics and corticosteroids. The patient recovered from both the complications gradually.

ABSTRACT

CONTEXTO: Rabdomiólise é uma condição clínica severa e ameaçadora à vida, em que ocorre destruição de músculo esquelético. Insuficiência renal aguda por rabdomiólise já foi bem descrita, sendo os principais mecanismos fisiopatológicos vasoconstrição renal, formação de depósitos intratubulares e toxicidade direta da mioglobina. TIPO DE ESTUDO: Relato de caso e revisão da literatura. OBJETIVO: Relatar um caso de insuficiência renal aguda (IRA) induzida por rabdomiólise devida a exercícios físicos intensos e uso abusivo de álcool e descrever os principais mecanismos fisiopatológicos deste tipo de IRA. RELATO DE CASO: Homem de 39 anos foi admitido na emergência com edema e síndrome compartimental em membros inferiores. Ele estava oligúrico, e os níveis séricos de creatinina e uréia eram de 8,1mg/dl e 195mg/dl, respectivamente. O diagnóstico de rabdomiólise foi obtido através dos dados da história clínica e dos exames laboratoriais (creatinoquinase de 26320 UI/l). O tratamento inicial consistiu em reposição volêmica e diurese forçada. Tratamento específico para síndrome compartimental, como fasciotomia, não foi realizado para que se evitasse a ocorrência de infecções. Recuperação parcial da função renal foi observada após 10 sessões de hemodiálise. Recuperação completa ocorreu após dois meses de acompanhamento.

ABSTRACT

JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: Rabdomiólise é a lesão do músculo esquelético com liberação dos constituintes da célula para o plasma. Exercício exaustivo e extenuante, especialmente em homens não condicionados, pode resultar em morbidade maior com hiperpotassemia, acidose metabólica, coagulação intravascular disseminada, síndrome do desconforto respiratório agudo e rabdomiólise. Tem sido sugerido que hipertermia maligna, choque térmico e rabdomiólise induzida por exercício são síndromes fortemente relacionadas. O objetivo deste relato é descrever um caso de rabdomiólise fulminante após exercício físico e a correlação do quadro com hipertermia maligna. RELATO DO CASO: Homem de 32 anos apresentou mal estar seguido de síncope após correr 2.350 m em prova de aptidão física. Foi levado ao hospital, evoluiu com insuficiência respiratória, bradiarritmia, hipotensão arterial e parada cardiocirculatória. Foi reanimado, ficou comatoso, com importante rigidez muscular, choque persistente, distúrbio de coagulação, acidose metabólica, hiperpotassemia, evoluindo para óbito em menos de 24 horas. A autópsia revelou edema agudo de pulmão, coagulação intravascular disseminada e insuficiência renal aguda conseqüente a rabdomiólise. CONCLUSÕES: Tem sido sugerido que rabdomiólise induzida por exercício e hipertermia maligna são síndromes fortemente relacionadas. O paciente evoluiu para óbito antes de qualquer investigação específica para hipertermia maligna. No entanto, é importante pesquisar a susceptibilidade para esta síndrome em seus familiares a fim de evitar eventos anestésicos com potencial risco para a vida

ABSTRACT

Despite advances in health care, morbidity and mortality associated with acute renal failure [ARF] remain high. This study determined the frequency and etiology of ARF in hospitalized patients in Saudi Arabia over 2 years. Of the 150 cases of ARF, 38.0% were community-acquired and 62.0% hospital-acquired. The main cause was acute tubular necrosis [ATN] in 93 patients, due to sepsis [24.7%], ischaemia [12.7%], rhabdomyolysis [mainly from road traffic accidents] [10.7%], drugs [7.3%] and malaria and snake-bites [4.6%]. Overall, 40% died, 48% made a full recovery and 1 patient [0.7%] became dialysis-dependant. Factors associated with poor prognosis were: age 60+ years, community-acquired ARF, peak blood urea nitrogen > 160 mg/dL, duration of ARF > 1 week, need for dialysis and associated chronic liver disease
