Volume Replacement (Hydration)
• What? Isotonic saline
• Target? UOP should be maintained around
200-300 ml/h
• Continued until
–plasma CK levels decrease to <5000 unit/L
–urine is dipstick negative for hematuria

Volume Replacement (Hydration)1
Paletta CE. Ann Plast Surg. 1993 Mar;30(3):272-3.
Carefully assess:
Volume status, UOP
(Take care of HYPERVOLEMIA)
Compartment syndrome may develop after
fluid resuscitation, with worsening edema of
the limb and muscle
Bicarbonate Infusion2
To Whom?
CK > 5000 / Sever injury, providing the following conditions are met:
●Severe hypocalcemia is not present
●Arterial pH is <7.5 ●Serum HCO3 < 30 mEq/L
How?
- Infuse 150 mL of 8.4 % NaHCO3
mixed with 1 L of 5 % dextrose
(alternating with isotonic saline)
- The initial rate of infusion is
200 mL/hour
- the rate is adjusted to achieve
a urine pH of >6.5.
When to stop?
1- symptomatic hypocalcemia
2-arterial pH > 7.5
3-serum bicarbonate >
30 mEq/L.
4-urine pH does not rise
above 6.5 after 3-4 hrs
Monitor
art pH &
Ca / 2hrs
Melli G. Medicine (Baltimore). 2005 Nov;84(6):377-85.
Mannitol Infusion3
To Whom?
Urinary flow is adequate (defined as >20 mL/hour)
Patients with extremely high serum CK levels (greater than
30,000 unit/L) Brown CV. J Trauma. 2004 Jun;56(6):1191-6.
How?
given at a rate of 5 g/h
added to each liter of
infusate and not exceeding
1 to 2 g/kg/day.
When to stop?
1- osmolal gap rises above
55 mosmol/kg
2- diuresis of 200 to
300 mL/hour cannot be
achieved
(increased risk of
hyperosmolality, volume
overload, and hyperkalemia )
Sever MS, Vanholder R, Lameire N. N Engl J Med. 2006;354:1052-1063.
Evidence !!!
The evidence for the
effectiveness of
NaHCO3 infusion &
Mannitol is very weak
Hypocalcemia4
Give Ca supplement ONLY IF:
1- Symptomatic hypocalcemia
2- Management of hyperkalemia
Why?
During the recovery phase:
Release of calcium from injured muscle → serum Ca levels
return to normal and may rebound to significantly elevated
levels
Akmal M. J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 1986 Jul;63(1):137-42.
Treat the cause
• The specific cause is frequently evident from
the history or from the immediate
circumstances preceding the disorder.
• Consider toxicology screen for drugs, viral
screen, TSH if cause not apparent.
PROGNOSIS
The overall prognosis for patients with heme-
induced AKI is favorable as most survivors recover
sufficient kidney function to be dialysis
independent, and many will recover to normal or
near-normal kidney function
Woodrow G. Ren Fail. 1995 Jul;17(4):467-74.
• Rhabdomyolysis may be traumatic or non traumatic
• Final common pathway of pathogenesis is the leak of
intramuscular contents into circulation
• Final common pathway is sequestration of Ca & H2O
into muscles
• Hallmark of AKI is ATN
• Dipstick may be –ve for myglobinuria
• Muscle pain may be absent
• Re-rise of CK = Compartment syndrome or metabolic
disorder
• Corner stone of management is hydration
• NaHCO3 = Precautions = Weak evidence
• Mannitol = Precautions = Weak evidence
• Ca supplement = Precautions
• Prognosis is good
