“…The diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis and associated acute renal failure is usually easily made, but may sometimes be confusing because myoglobin is absent in the urine in about 30% of the patients (11). MR imaging of the kidney may be helpful in these circumstances.…”

“…ARF is the most commonly recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuric renal fail ure accounts for 5 to 8% of all cases of ARF (2). The major causes of rhabdomyolyis include trauma, ischémie muscle injury, thermal muscle injury, exposure to drugs and toxins, and extreme muscular activity (2,11). The most commonly proposed theories explaining the development of ARF in patients with rhabdomyolysis are direct nephrotoxicity of components of myoglobin, alteration of renal blood flow, and tubular obstruction secondary to precipitation of myo globin, protein, and uric acid crystals (2,(9)(10)(11).…”

“…Rhabdomyolysis is a common condition in which injury to skeletal muscle results in leakage of intracellular contents from myocytes into the plasma (2,11). ARF is the most commonly recognized cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with rhabdomyolysis, and myoglobinuric renal fail ure accounts for 5 to 8% of all cases of ARF (2).…”

“…Rhabdomyolysis is one of the well-known causes of acute renal failure (ARF) (2,11), but the findings at MR imaging have not been well described. Although obliteration of corti comedullary contrast on Tl-weighted spin-echo image is regarded as a common finding of medical renal disease (1,4,8), exceptions to this rule have been reported in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria, and sickle cell nephropathy (5)(6)(7).…”

Acute Renal Failure Secondary to Rhabdomyolysis

MR imaging of the kidney was performed in 6 patients with acute renal failure (ARF) secondary to rhabdomyolysis caused by snake bite (n = 4), crush injury ( n = l ) , and carbon monoxide poisoning (n = 1 ). A test for urine myoglobin was positive in all 6 patients and MR imaging was done 6 to 18 days after the causative event of the rhabdomyolysis. MR images in all 6 patients showed globular swelling of the kidneys, preserved corticomedullary contrast on Tlweighted images, and obliteration of corticomedullary contrast on T2-weighted images. Unlike other medical renal diseases in which corticomedullary contrast is lost on Tl-weighted images, preserva tion of the corticomedullary contrast on T1 -weighted MR images with globular renal swelling was a constant finding in patients with ARF secondary to rhabdomyolysis.

“…Rhabdomyolysis after laparoscopic nephrectomy occurs in 0.4 to 4.9% of surgeries. Postoperative rhabdomyolysis is known to be associated with ruptured abdominal aortic aneurysm surgery, revascularization of vascular occlusion, and urology surgery [5,6]. Risk factors include male gender, high body mass index, prolonged surgery, lateral decubitus position, and flexed lateral decubitus position.…”

Rhabdomyolysis after laparoscopic radical nephrectomy -A case report-

Rhabdomyolysis is a rare but potentially lethal clinical syndrome that results from acute muscle fiber necrosis with leakage of muscle constituents into blood. This devastating disease could be due to muscle compression caused by urologic positioning for a lengthy nephrectomy. In this regard, laparoscopic renal surgery may be a risk for the development of rhabdomyolysis. This phenomenon of massive muscle necrosis can produce secondary acute renal failure. The risk factors have to be managed carefully during anesthetic management. Here, we report a case of a patient with rhabdomyolysis that developed in the flexed lateral decubitus position during laparoscopic nephrectomy.

Technetium-99m MDP scintigraphy of rhabdomyolysis induced by exertional heat stroke: A case report

A case of rhabdomyolysis induced by exertional heat stroke in a police officer recruit is reported. Technetium-99m methylene diphosphonate scintigraphy demonstrated marked uptake of the injured skeletal muscle. This bone-scanning agent provided an excellent means of localizing and evaluating the muscle injury of rhabdomyolysis. Nuclear medicine physicians should be aware of the special conditions and causes in which bone scan may demonstrate striking findings.
