Rhabdomyolysis
Rhabdomyolysis (RML) is a pathological entity characterized by symptoms of myalgia, weakness and dark urine (which is often not present) resulting in respiratory failure and altered mental status
In addition, if urine output is also diminished, fluid retention and volume Practice Essentials
Rhabdomyolysis is characterised by skeletal muscle injury and release of intracellular contents into the systemic circulation - namely, potassium, phosphate, myoglobin, creatinine kinase (CK) and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
The loop diuretics are highly protein bound and therefore Rhabdomyolysis is common in our critical care unit (about 7% of all admissions ) and treatment is a protocolled high fluid output/input strategy for any patient with a CK greater than 5000 U/l
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a fairly common complication encountered in the intensive care unit (ICU)
Class and Category: Diuretic, Loop, Thiazide, Carbonic Anhydrase inhibitor, Osmotic, Potassium-Sparing
The bioavailability can be improved if it is taken before meals because food can disrupt its absorption2)
Central to all forms of rhabdomyolysis are decline in intracellular ATP levels and elevation in myoplasmic Ca 2+ concentration (Figure 1) []
The "classic triad" of rhabdomyolysis symptoms are: muscle pain in the shoulders, thighs, or lower back; muscle weakness or trouble moving arms and legs; and dark red or brown urine or Background Fluid retention is a common complication of critical illness
(2) Renal failure occurs due to the precipitation of uric acid and calcium phosphate in the kidneys
Mannitol, acting as an Osmotic diuretics act both in the PT and loop of Henle, with the loop of Henle probably being the main site of action; and they increase urinary excretion of most electrolytes, including Na+, K +, Ca 2+, Mg 2+, Cl −, HCO 3−, and phosphate
While delayed muscle soreness (DOMS) usually occurs 24-48 hours after exercise, rhabdomyolysis pain can begin almost immediately after someone ceases the activity
One of the main uses of Furosemide is in the management of congestive heart failure

IV fluids can prevent dangerous heart rhythms and loss of kidney function
The causes and evaluation of patients with hypernatremia and the Furosemide has no benefits and is possibly harmful when used with radiocontrast agents, in patients with rhabdomyolysis, and during on-pump cardiac surgery: Furosemide (and dehydration) may aggravate acute kidney injury when used with concurrent nephrotoxic agents such as aminoglycoside, vancomycin, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs Protocol-based strategies are recommended to prevent and improve acute kidney injury in high-risk patients (e

Hyperkalemia is defined as a serum or plasma potassium level above the upper limits of normal, usually greater than 5
5 mEq/L to 7 mEq/L, but the rate of change is more important Second, hyponatremia may overcorrect too rapidly, leading to osmotic demyelination
These diuretics draw fluid from the cells of the brain and eyes which reduces pressure on those parts of the body
Rhabdomyolysis can follow direct or indirect muscle injury and the injured muscle cells release their intracellular contents into the circulatory system
Myoglobinuria is the presence of an excess amount of myoglobin in the urine
A furosemide stress test (FST) is used when approaching a patient with oliguria to determine whether underlying renal function is intact
Mannitol is widely used in the management of cerebral oedema and raised intracranial pressure (ICP) from multiple causes
Typically, furosemide-induced hypokalemia is characterized by hypernatremia, hypocalcemia, hypomagnesemia, high urine calcium Lasix is a brand name for furosemide
Diuresis (furosemide with or without a thiazide) should be used to prevent or treat volume overload
2 Approximately 26,000 cases of rhabdomyolysis Abstract
There are eight commonly reported categories of rhabdomyolysis ( Table 1 )

Automated fluid management has the potential to optimise urine output while avoiding fluid accumulation in rhabdomyolysis patients
Although there is general agreement on early and aggressive volume resuscitation aimed at increasing urine flow (about 200-300 mL/h), there is no strong Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome caused by injury to skeletal muscle and involves leakage of large quantities of potentially toxic intracellular contents into plasma
What is rhabdomyolysis? Rhabdomyolysis is a disease that exists along a spectrum

Virtually all cases of severe diuretic-induced hyponatremia have been due to a thiazide-type diuretic [ 1-7 ]
