Rhabdomyolysis This
is a condition where there is a rapid breakdown of muscle tissue
leading to a large release of myoglobin into the bloodstream.
The myoglobin is a cousin to hemoglobin, but it resides in the
muscles to grab oxygen for the muscle tissues. It has a larger
structure than hemoglobin and can cause clogging of the kidneys
during hemofiltration. This is important because if the
muscle tissue breakdown is massive enough, the kidneys can
become irreversibly damaged, sometimes even leading to kidney
failure thus necessitating hemodialysis to sustain life.
There are multiple causes of Rhabdomyolysis, and it is one of
the most severe adverse reactions that can occur from taking
cholesterol lowing statin medications. |
