Acute kidney injury associated with rhabdomyolysis in a patient with COVID-19

Abstract Rhabdomyolysis is defined as the breakdown of skeletal muscle leading to the release of muscle contents into the extracellular fluid. Patients with rhabdomyolysis can be asymptomatic or have myalgia symptoms, weakness, myoglobinuria with dark urine, significant electrolyte imbalance, and acute kidney injury. Here we describe a case on acute kidney injury associated to rhabdomyolysis in a patient with COVID-19.

摘要 横纹肌溶解症（Rhabdomyolysis）指骨骼肌发生崩解，致使肌肉内容物释放至细胞外液的病理状态。罹患该病的患者可无明显临床症状，或出现肌痛、乏力、肌红蛋白尿伴深色尿液、严重电解质紊乱以及急性肾损伤。本文报告1例新型冠状病毒肺炎（COVID-19）患者合并横纹肌溶解症相关性急性肾损伤的病例。
