Seo JS, Yeo I, Kim C, Kim D, Lim JH, Park K, Jeong J, Kwon H, Cho Y, Park S. Factors Associated with Acute Kidney Injury Occurrence and Prognosis in Rhabdomyolysis at the Emergency Department. MEDICINA (KAUNAS, LITHUANIA) 2024; 60:105. [PMID: 38256366 PMCID: PMC10819221 DOI: 10.3390/medicina60010105] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/13/2023] [Revised: 12/27/2023] [Accepted: 01/02/2024] [Indexed: 01/24/2024]
Abstract
Background and Objectives: This study aimed to analyze patients with rhabdomyolysis who presented to emergency departments and identify their distribution of related disease and prognostic factors. Materials and Methods: A retrospective cohort study was conducted on patients with rhabdomyolysis who presented to emergency departments over a 10-year period. Patient data, including patients' demographic variables (sex and age), mode of arrival, final diagnosis, statin use, rhabdomyolysis trigger factors, and levels of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK), myoglobin, creatinine, sodium, potassium, phosphate, calcium, and lactate, were analyzed. Univariate and multivariate logistic regression analyses were conducted to identify the predictive factors of acute kidney injury (AKI). Results: Among the patients, 268 (65.6%) were found to have trigger factors without underlying diseases. Furthermore, 115 (28.2%) patients developed AKI. This comprehensive study sheds light on the diverse factors influencing the occurrence of AKI in rhabdomyolysis and provides insights into AKI predictive markers. Furthermore, we analyzed the cases by dividing them into six groups: occurrence of AKI, occurrence of infection, and simple or complex rhabdomyolysis. CPK time course was found to be important in clinical prognosis, such as AKI occurrence, dialysis or not, and mortality. Conclusions: Age, statin use, elevated creatinine and lactate levels, and initial serum CPK level emerged as significant predictors of AKI. CPK time course was also found to be an important factor in predicting the clinical outcomes of patients with rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim: To investigate clinical and pathohistological manifestations of acute kidney injury among patients with drug poisoning (overdose). PATIENTS AND METHODS Materials and methods: A cohort retrospective analysis of medical data of 86 patients treated in 2017-2021 with a diagnosis of "acute drug poisoning" com¬plicated by the development of acute kidney injury syndrome was conducted. A forensic medical examination of deceased patients (7 persons) was carried out. Histological samples were examined using an microscope OPTON Axioskop (Germany) in transmitted light, at magnifications of 100 and 400 times. Statistical analysis of the obtained data was carried out using the IBM SPSS Statistics 29.0.0.0 program, Pearson's correlation analysis was used, p≤0.05. RESULTS Results: Acute renal failure in drug poisoning occurs under the influence of prerenal (hypoxia, r=0,66, р=0,0021; hypovolemia, r=0,61, р=0,0333) and renal factors (toxic effect of chemical components of the drug and rhabdomyolysis, r=0,743, р=0,0034). In the tissue samples, erythrocyte stasis in the capillaries, general fullness of blood vessels, signs of the sludge effect and small diapedesis hemorrhages were found; vasculitis and perivascular sclerosis are noted; foci of mononuclear infiltration of the stroma, focal edema, necrosis and interstitial fibrosis; desquamation, degenerative-dystrophic changes of the nephrothelium, tubular atrophy were found; hyaline casts in separate tubules; focal glomerular changes with segmental increase of the mesangial matrix and proliferation of endothelial cells, atrophy and hyalinosis of individual glomeruli were noted. CONCLUSION Conclusions: The multifactorial effect of opioids is confirmed by microcirculation disorders, vascular, interstitial, tubular and glomerular changes in the kidneys.

Characteristics of pediatric rhabdomyolysis and the associated risk factors for acute kidney injury: a retrospective multicenter study in Korea. Kidney Res Clin Pract 2021; 40:673-686.

Abstract
Background The clinical features of pediatric rhabdomyolysis differ from those of the adults with rhabdomyolysis; however, multicenter studies are lacking. This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of pediatric rhabdomyolysis and reveal the risk factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in such cases. Methods This retrospective study analyzed the medical records of children and adolescents diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis at 23 hospitals in South Korea between January 2007 and December 2016. Results Among 880 patients, those aged 3 to 5 years old composed the largest subgroup (19.4%), and all age subgroups were predominantly male. The incidence of AKI was 11.3%. Neurological disorders (53.6%) and infection (39.0%) were the most common underlying disorder and cause of rhabdomyolysis, respectively. The median age at diagnosis in the AKI subgroup was older than that in the non-AKI subgroup (12.2 years vs. 8.0 years). There were no significant differences in body mass index, myalgia, dark-colored urine, or the number of causal factors between the two AKI-status subgroups. The multivariate logistic regression model indicated that the following factors were independently associated with AKI: multiorgan failure, presence of an underlying disorder, strong positive urine occult blood, increased aspartate aminotransferase and uric acid levels, and reduced calcium levels. Conclusions Our study revealed characteristic clinical and laboratory features of rhabdomyolysis in a Korean pediatric population and highlighted the risk factors for AKI in these cases. Our findings will contribute to a greater understanding of pediatric rhabdomyolysis and may enable early intervention against rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI.

Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is diagnosed based on the levels of blood biomarkers such as creatine kinase (CK), but the use of CK levels to predict long-term renal function remains controversial. This current report presents a case with a very high CK level with the presentation of acute kidney injury (AKI) who regained full renal function. A 29-year-old man, in a manic mood and presenting with dyspnoea, was admitted to hospital following an episode of ketamine use along with a history of drug abuse. The laboratory analyses identified rhabdomyolysis (CK, 35 266 U/l) and AKI (serum creatinine, 3.96 mg/dl). Despite treatment with intravenous normal saline (4000 ml/day), his CK level reached at least 300 000 U/l. He underwent 13 sessions of haemodialysis and his renal function fully recovered. The final measurements were serum creatinine 1.0 mg/dl and CK 212 U/l. These findings support the view that the predictive power of CK level on AKI is limited, especially regarding long-term renal function. Close follow-up examinations of renal function after haemodialysis are mandatory for patients with rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is a rare and complex condition that involves injury of the skeletal muscle fibres, resulting in the release of substances such as creatine kinase and myoglobin. It is associated with acute kidney injury and mortality. This article describes the case of a 40-year-old man who presented to the emergency department after an overdose of tramadol hydrochloride. It uses critical reflection to explore traumatic and non-traumatic causes of rhabdomyolysis and reviews the literature relating to the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis through laboratory and point-of-care testing. To ensure the timely identification of patients at risk of deterioration, emergency nurses need to be aware of the potential causes and the clinical signs and symptoms of rhabdomyolysis.

Abstract
Substance abusers are at increased risk of acute kidney injury (AKI) compared to the general population due to nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis. The primary target of these nephrotoxic agents is the tubulointerstitial compartment and the most frequent findings on biopsy are consistent with acute tubular necrosis (ATN) and acute interstitial nephritis. We present a rare case of an intravenous cocaine and heroin abuser who presented with recent onset oliguria, hematuria, and reduced peroral intake. The urine dipstick testing showed guaiac positivity but no red blood cells on microscopy. The blood workup showed elevated serum creatinine and urea levels but normal creatinine kinase (CK) level. Renal biopsy showed tubular epithelial cell necrosis and positive immunoperoxidase staining for myoglobin pigment casts in renal tubules. The diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis-associated ATN secondary to substance abuse was suggested. However, normal serum CK levels as well as urine drug panel supported the delayed presentation of rhabdomyolysis complicated with ATN. The patient returned to normal health with no residual kidney dysfunction after undergoing temporary hemofiltration.
