Rhabdomyolysis caused by intractable postpartum hemorrhage: a case report / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

We reported a case of rhabdomyolysis following hemorrhagic shock caused by intractable postpartum hemorrhage. During the resuscitation, the patient was clearly diagnosed with the following manifestations, including dark urine, oliguria, significantly increased creatine kinase and positive myoglobin in both serum and urine. Acute kidney injury occurred after emergent abdominal hysterectomy. The patient was fully recovered after active anti-shock management, including a successful resuscitation, aggressive hydration, urine alkalinization, diuresis, treatment on acidosis, hyperpotassemia and hypocalcemia.
