[Study of the changes in kidney function in acute obstruction of the arteries of the extremities]

The kidney function was studied in postischemia period in 80 patients with acute arterial occlusion,using the methods of radioisotope renography and effective renal blood flow. For the purpose of prophylaxis agains renal complications in addition to regional perfusion and venesection the method of regional inhibition of toxic products in the ischemia focus is suggested. In increased myoglobinuiea the stimulation of diuresis, alkalization of the organism would be a necessity. Renal complications were observed in 13 of 80 patients (16.25%). In 6 patients myoglobinuric tubular nephrosis was noted with lethal issues; in the remaining 7 patients due to early establishment of the diagnosis and intensive therapy myoglobinuria showed an abortive character.
