[Morphology of myorenal syndrome]
Abstract:
A total of 114 autopsy specimens and 34 specimens of surgical material from patients with the myorenal syndrome are analyzed. All patients had symptoms of acute renal (hepatorenal) failure which caused death during the first two weeks of the disease. In later periods, death was caused by septic complications. Manifest morphological changes, caused by injuries, metabolic disorders, or sepsis were detected in many organs and tissues in all cases. The sources of septic complications were wounds, decompression incisions, fasciotomies, shunts, and catheters. After combined therapy of wounds with adsorbents, antibiotics, proteolytic enzymes, and laser exposure the bacteria lost their virulence and died and the wounds were cleansed.
