    Area of Science:

    • Nephrology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Pathophysiology

    Background:

    • Rhabdomyolysis involves skeletal muscle cell breakdown, releasing myoglobin into circulation.
    • It is a primary contributor to acute kidney injury (AKI).
    • Understanding its pathogenesis is crucial for effective management.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To provide a comprehensive guide on rhabdomyolysis for nephrology nurses.
    • To review the literature, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and clinical presentation.
    • To outline essential nursing interventions and treatment strategies.

    Main Methods:

    • Literature review focusing on rhabdomyolysis.
    • Analysis of pathophysiological and etiological factors.
    • Synthesis of diagnostic criteria and clinical manifestations.

    Main Results:

    • Rhabdomyolysis is characterized by elevated plasma myoglobin.
    • It is strongly associated with the development of acute renal failure.
    • Early recognition and intervention are key to patient outcomes.

    Conclusions:

    • Nephrology nurses play a vital role in managing rhabdomyolysis.
    • Comprehensive understanding of the syndrome improves patient care.
    • Effective nursing interventions can mitigate AKI risk in rhabdomyolysis patients.
