Abstract

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 thigh and buttock. Her clinical course was that of a typical acute oliguric renal failure, and hemodialysis was required 3times during oliguric phase. She was discharged on the 35th hospital day with normal renal function. we report this case with brief review of some related literatures.
