Abstract:

It has been proved that rhabdomyolysis, which can be occurred by many different causes, can also be observed due to trauma. Although severe acute kidney injury associated with rhabdomyolysis (rhabdomyolysis-acute kidney injury) after severe physical attacks is not common, it can be encountered in the literature. Acute kidney injury should be considered as a life-threating case. In this study, two cases diagnosed as rhabdomyolysis-acute kidney injury are. In the first case, 39-year-old male patient applied to our emergency department due to nausea-vomiting and acute kidney injury after exposed to a severe physical attack, and in the second case 21-year-old male patient applied to our emergency department due to severe dyspeptic complaints and acute kidney injury after exposed to a severe physical attack and long-distance run. In both cases, the recovery was provided with rational conservative treatment and hemodialysis was not required. Physicians should consider the possibility of rhabdomyolysis-acute kidney in patients who applied to the emergency department due to unexplained levels of dyspeptic complaints. Early diagnosis and treatment may prevent acute renal failure associated with rhabdomyolysis and minimize the potential adverse effects of renal dysfunction in rhabdomyolysis patients.
