Extracorporeal blood purification (HA-380) in rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury: a successful outcome

Rhabdomyolysis is characterised by muscle breakdown with release of creatine kinase and myoglobin into the bloodstream. Elevated myoglobin levels are a major contributor to acute kidney injury and potentially permanent kidney damage.Conventional renal replacement therapies alone have limited the ability to remove myoglobin due to its molecular size. Timely haemoadsorption may offer a practical solution, enhancing myoglobin clearance and improving outcomes.Prospective studies are needed to establish the optimal use and efficacy of haemoadsorption in rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury.
