male urinary system, rhabdomyolysis, breakdown of muscle fibers resulting, in the release of muscle fiber contents, circulation, toxic, kidney, frequenty result in kidney damage, myoglobin, oxygen-binding protein pigment found, in the skeletal muscle, skeletal muscle is damaged, myoglobin is released, bloodstream, filtered out, the bloodstream by the kidneys, myoglobin, occlude the structures, the kidney, causing damage acute tubular necrosis, kidney failure, myoglobin breaks down into potentially toxic compounds, cause kidney failure, necrotic, dead tissue, skeletal muscle, massive fluid shifts, bloodstream, muscle, reducing the relative fluid volume, shock, reduced blood flow, kidneys, condition that results in damage to skeletal muscle, trauma, risk factors, severe exertion marathon running, calisthenics, ischemia, necrosis, the muscles, arterial occlusion, deep venous thrombosis, seizures, overdose of drugs-especially cocaine, amphetamines, statins, heroin, pcp, trauma, shaking chills, heat intolerance, heatstroke, alcoholism, subsequent muscle tremors, low phosphate levels, abnormal urine color, dark, red, cola colored, muscle tenderness, weakness, the affected muscles, generalized weakness, muscle stiffness, aching, myalgia, additional symptoms that associated, weight gain, unintentional, seizures, joint pain, fatigue, an examination reveals tender, damaged skeletal muscles, a urinalysis, reveal casts, positive, hemoglobin, evidence of red blood cells on microscopic examination, a urine myoglobin test is positive, a serum myoglobin test is positive, a cpk is very high, a serum potassium very high, potassium is released from cells, bloodstream, is cell breakdown, tests, urine creatinine, serum creatinine, cpk isoenzymes, aggressive hydration, prevent complications by rapidly eliminating the myoglobin out, the kidneys, hydration needs, muscle necrosis, approximate the massive fluid volume needs, a severely burned patient, involve intravenous administration of several liters of fluid, condition stabilizes, diuretic medications mannitol, furosemide, aid in flushing the pigment out, the kidneys, urine output is sufficient, bicarbonate given to maintain an alkaline urine state, helps, prevent the dissociation of myoglobin into toxic compounds, hyperkalemia, kidney failure, depending on the extent of kidney damage incurred, acute tubular necrosis, acute renal failure, symptoms indicate rhabdomyolysis present, after any condition, involve damage to skeletal muscle, hydration, adequate to dilute the urine, flush the myoglobin out, the kidney.
