Al-Mehdi Rhabdomyolysis Flashcards
skeletal muscle breakdown due to trauma or ATP depletion
Rhabdomyolysis
5-10% of all acute kidney injury is due to this
rhabdomyolysis
what is released from rhabdomyocytes that causes acute kidney injury
myoglobin
K+ release from rhabdomyocytes causes
hyperkalemia
Ca2+ uptake into rhabdomyocytes causes
hypocalcemia
myalgia, tenderness, and muscle weakness are what features of rhabdomyolysis
local
tea-colored urine is what feature of rhabdomyolysis
systemic
specific pathology of rhabdomyolysis that leads to small amount of urine
Oliguria
sign of severe rhabdomyolysis that leads to uremic encephalopathy which lead to mental status changes
hyperuricemia
occurs in muscle groups (fascia); trauma releases fluid from cell; sensory abnormalities due to nerve compression
compartment syndrome
main labs of rhabdomyolysis (3)
increased CK-MM
increased creatinine
acidosis
main sign of rhabdomyolysis
myoglobinuria
what 3 things does elevated CK entail
Rhabdomyolysis, myocardial infarction, and muscular dystrophy
can lead to cardiac arrest, peaked T waves on ECGs, muscle paralysis
hyperkalemic periodic paralysis
to treat hyperkalemic periodic paralysis
calcium gluconate (reduces firing)
albuterol and insulin (increases Na/K ATPase to put K back in cell)
painless total body muscle weakness; mutation in L-type VGCC, increase in epi and insulin which brings K in cell
hypokalemic periodic paralysis
to treat hypokalemic periodic paralysis
