Acute kidney injury in pediatric patients with rhabdomyolysis
Young Shin Lim, Heeyeon Cho, Sang Taek Lee, Yeonhee Lee
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2018;61(3):95-100.   Published online March 19, 2018
Purpose

This study aimed to evaluate the clinical findings in pediatric rhabdomyolysis and the predictive factors for acute kidney injury (AKI) in Korean children.

Methods

Medical records of 39 Korean children, who were newly diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis from January 2008 to December 2015, were retrospectively analyzed. The diagnosis was made from the medical history, elevated serum creatinine kinase level >1,000 IU/L, and plasma...

Clinical characteristics of acute renal failure of rhabdomyolysis in children
Jae Hui Kim, Min Ji Goo, Jung Sook Yeom, Eun Sil Park, Ji Hyun Seo, Jae Young Lim, Chan Hoo Park, Hyang Ok Woo, Hee Shang Youn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2007;50(3):277-283.   Published online March 15, 2007
Purpose : Acute renal failure (ARF) is an important complication of rhabdomyolysis. The purpose of this study was to identify the major causes of rhabdomyolysis in children and to identify the factors associated with the developmet of ARF. Methods : A retrospective chart review between January 1997 to June 2005 was conducted of 60 patients with a diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis...

A Case of Acute Renal Failure Caused by Rhabdomyolysis due to Hyperosmolar Nonketotic Coma in Children
Jeong Won Kwak, Jae Min Oh, Su Yung Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(5):565-568.   Published online May 15, 2005
Hyperosmolar nonketotic coma complicated in diabetes mellitus has been a rare cause of rhabdomyolysis, although increasingly reported recently. Acute renal failure can be complicated in 15 percent of rhabdomyolysis patients, but is rare in the case of rhabdomyolysis caused by diabetic hyperosomolar nonketotic coma. We report a 14 years-old boy with acute renal failure complicated by rhabdomyolysis caused by diabetic...
A Case of Non-traumatic Rhabdomyolysis after Doxylamine Overdose
Sung Woog Hwang, Hyeung Kyeung No, Kee Hyuck Kim
Clin Exp Pediatr. 2002;45(8):1033-1037.   Published online August 15, 2002
Doxylamine is an antihistamine of the ethanolamine class. It is used primarily as a sleep-inducing agent. Clinicians should be aware of the complications in rhabdomyolysis patients who ingest doxylamine succinate and over-the-counter antihistamines. The easy availability of these substances increases the potential not only of intentional overdose by adults but also of inadvertent ingestion by children. Prompt intervention and careful...
Rhabdomyolysis-induced Acute Renal Failure in a Child
Weon Sang Yun, Keun Mo Ki, Byung Ju Kim, Jae Sook Ma
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(5):707-710.   Published online May 15, 1998
Rhabdomyolysis has been reported as a cause of acute renal failure(ARF), and it can arise from traumatic and variable non-traumatic events. Rhabdomyolysis-induced ARF is very rare in children. We experienced a case of rhabdomyolysis-induced ARF in a 14-year-old boy who presented with generalized edema and oliguria following trauma, a compressed thigh by a cultivator. Laboratory tests showed marked elevation of muscle...
Two Childhood Cases of Heat Stroke with Rhabdomyolysis and Multiorgan Failure
Yang-Suk Jung, Jae-Young Lim, Yun-Kyeong Cho, Gye-Woo Yi, Chan-Hoo Park, Hyang-Ok Woo, Hee-Shang Youn
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(4):568-573.   Published online April 15, 1998
Heat stroke occurs when body thermal regulation is upset and unable to dissipate adequate amounts of heat with rise in body temperature. Thus heat stroke may result in rhabdomyolysis and multiorgan failure. We observed two childhood cases of heat stroke with rhabdomyolysis and multiorgan failure. One case was caused by accidentally being left in a car trunk for 3 hours on a sunny afternoon...

A Case of Acute Renal Failure Associated with Rhabdomyolysis in Carbon Monoxide Intoxication.
Kyung Hee Park, Sei Hee Hwang, Hae Il Cheong, Yong Choi, Kwang Wook Ko
Clin Exp Pediatr. 1990;33(5):690-694.   Published online May 31, 1990
We experienced a case of acute renal failure associated with rhabdomyolysis after Carbon Monoxide intoxication in a 12 year old Korean girl who had marked soft tissue swelling of the left thigh, reddish brown colored urine and oliguria. Diagnosis was made by clinical features, markedly elevated serum muscle enzymes and serum myoglobin, and Tc 99m-MDP bone scan which revealed increased radioactivity at the left...
