Rhabdomyolysis and Myoglobinuric Nephrosis (Capture Myopathy) in a Striped Dolphin

Clinico-pathological findings in a striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) affected by rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric nephrosis (capture myopathy)

A striped dolphin (Stenella coeruleoalba) calf stranded alive because of a Salter-Harris fracture type 1 of a caudal vertebra and remained in a provisional rehabilitation facility for 3 days where the fracture stabilization was attempted, but he died the day after bandaging.

Recurrent rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric acute renal failure in a patient with polymyositis.

We report on a 57-year-old woman with polymyositis who on two occasions presented with rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria, with resultant oliguric acute renal failures, the second episosde of which required haemodialysis.

Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric renal failure following cardioversion and CPR for acute MI.

A 50-year-old man suffered an MI with VFIB at work, and efforts at resuscitation were initiated immediately. Ninety minutes of CPR and 14 cardioversions were given by trained personnel before VFIB converted to sinus rhythm. Reversible myoglobinuric renal failure ensued, requiring two weeks of hemodialysis. Scanning with technetium-99m pyrophosphate revealed extensive muscle injury in the region...
