LA RABDOMIÓLISIS UN POTENCIAL RIESGO PARA LA FALLA RENAL EN EL SÍNDROME COMPARTIMENTAL

Abstract

Introduction: Rhabdomyolysis is a disorder characterized by the massive rupture of myocytes, leading to the release of myoglobin and other intracellular components into the bloodstream. This condition can have severe consequences, especially when combined with compartment syndrome. The purpose of this article is to examine the available literature on the relationship between rhabdomyolysis and renal injury in compartment syndrome. The methodology used in this literature review study consisted of conducting a comprehensive review of relevant scientific literature in electronic repositories and other relevant sources. Studies addressing aspects such as epidemiology, clinical manifestations, risk factors, diagnostic and therapeutic methods, and prognosis were included. The results obtained revealed that rhabdomyolysis is identified as a significant risk factor for the progression of renal injury in the context of compartment syndrome. Diagnostic methods involve assessing renal injury by detecting elevated levels of muscle enzymes and biomarkers, as well as imaging studies to evaluate the extent of muscle damage. Regarding treatment, the importance of aggressive rehydration and the prevention of acute renal injury is emphasized. In severe cases, renal replacement therapy may be necessary. In conclusion, rhabdomyolysis represents a potential risk for the development of renal injury in compartment syndrome, making early diagnosis and appropriate treatment essential for improving clinical outcomes.
