Rare times rare: The hyponatremia, rhabdomyolysis, anterior compartment syndrome sequence.

ABSTRACT: Primary polydipsia occurs in up to 25% of patients with chronic psychiatric disorders (especially schizophrenia), related to the disease, its treatment or both. Urine output fails to match intake >10 L/day and water intoxication may develop. Rhabdomyolysis is a rare complication of hyponatremia, and an acute anterior compartment syndrome of the leg, an emergency, may be very rarely associated.

Observational Study of the Association between Hyponatremia and Rhabdomyolysis in Patients Presenting to Hospital.

Project description:Hyponatremia may be a risk factor for rhabdomyolysis, but the association is not well defined and may be confounded by other variables. The aims of this study were to determine the prevalence and strength of the association between hyponatremia and rhabdomyolysis and to profile patients with hyponatremia. In a cross-sectional study of 870 adults admitted to hospital with rhabdomyolysis and a median peak creatine kinase of 4064 U/L (interquartile range, 1921-12,002 U/L), glucose-corrected serum sodium levels at presentation showed a U-shape relationship to log peak creatine kinase. The prevalence of mild (130-134 mmol/L), moderate (125-129 mmol/L), and severe (<125 mmol/L) hyponatremia was 9.4%, 2.5%, and 2.1%, respectively. We excluded patients with hypernatremia and used multivariable linear regression for analysis (n = 809). Using normal Na+ (135-145 mmol/L) as the reference category, we estimated that a drop in Na+ moving from one Na+ category to the next was associated with a 25% higher creatine kinase after adjusting for age, alcohol, illicit drugs, diabetes, and psychotic disorders. Multifactorial causes of rhabdomyolysis were more common than single causes. The prevalence of psychotic and alcohol use disorders was higher in the study population compared to the general population, corresponding with greater exposure to psychotropic medications and illicit drugs associated with hyponatremia and rhabdomyolysis. In conclusion, we found an association between hyponatremia and the severity of rhabdomyolysis, even after allowing for confounders.

Anti-Voltage-Gated Potassium Channel Antibody Syndrome: A Rare Cause of Hyponatremia in Intensive Care Unit.

Project description:Hyponatremia causing seizure is a common cause for admission in the critical care unit. Here, we describe a peculiar case of seizure due to hyponatremia, associated with anti-voltage-gated potassium channel antibody syndrome. This case emphasizes that how a proper workup can unveil unusual but potentially treatable causes of hyponatremia. The hallmark of this syndrome is that neurological symptoms may relapse or progress if the disorder is not recognized in time. This case report emphasizes the point that how a keen observation may decode subtle signs of the grave but potentially treatable pathologies.

Utility of a Laboratory Alert System for Detecting Adverse Drug Reactions in Hospitalised Patients: Hyponatremia and Rhabdomyolysis

Project description:Background—Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) are a public health issue, due to their great impact on morbidity, mortality, and economic cost. The use of automatized laboratory alerts could simplify greatly its detection. Objectives—We aimed to evaluate the performance of a laboratory alerts system as a method for detecting ADRs, using hyponatremia and rhabdomyolysis as case studies. Methods—This is a retrospective observational study conducted in 2019 during a 6-month period, including patients hospitalized at the Hospital Universitario de La Princesa. Patients were identified using altered laboratory parameters corresponding to the two signals: “rhabdomyolysis” (creatine phosphokinase >5 times the upper limit of normality (ULN): >1000 U/L for men and >900 U/L for women) and “hyponatremia” (<116 mEq/L) were detected. In cases where ADR was suspected, causality assessment was performed using the algorithm of the Spanish Pharmacovigilance System (SEFV). Results—During the study period, 180 patients were studied for the “rhabdomyolysis” signal, 6 of them were found to have an ADR (3.3%). The sensitivity of the test was 60%, specificity 97%, and positive predictive value 41%. 28 patients were studied for the “hyponatremia” signal, and 11 patients were found to have an ADR (39.3%), with a sensitivity of 76.9%, a specificity of 93.3%, and a positive predictive value of 88.2%. We found no relationship between altered laboratory values and risk of ADR in any of the cases studied. Conclusion—A pharmacovigilance program based on automatized laboratory signals could be an effective method to detect ADR. The study of the “hyponatremia” laboratory alert is more efficient than “rhabdomyolysis”. The evaluation of the hyponatremia alert allows the identification of 12 times more ADRs than the rhabdomyolysis alert, which means less time spent per alert evaluated to identify an ADR.

BioFACTS: biomarkers of rhabdomyolysis in the diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome - protocol for a prospective multinational, multicentre study involving patients with tibial fractures.

Project description:IntroductionThe ischaemic pain of acute compartment syndrome (ACS) can be difficult to discriminate from the pain linked to an associated fracture. Lacking objective measures, the decision to perform fasciotomy is based on clinical findings and performed at a low level of suspicion. Biomarkers of muscle cell damage may help to identify and monitor patients at risk, similar to current routines for patients with acute myocardial infarction. This study will test the hypothesis that biomarkers of muscle cell damage can predict ACS in patients with tibial fractures.Methods and analysisPatients aged 15-65 years who have suffered a tibial fracture will be included. Plasma (P)-myoglobin and P-creatine phosphokinase will be analysed at 6-hourly intervals after admission to the hospital (for 48 hours) and-if applicable-after surgical fixation or fasciotomy (for 24 hours). In addition, if ACS is suspected at any other point in time, blood samples will be collected at 6-hourly intervals. An independent expert panel will assess the study data and will classify those patients who had undergone fasciotomy into those with ACS and those without ACS. All primary comparisons will be performed between fracture patients with and without ACS. The area under the receiver operator characteristics curves will be used to identify the success of the biomarkers in discriminating between fracture patients who develop ACS and those who do not. Logistic regression analyses will be used to assess the discriminative abilities of the biomarkers to predict ACS corrected for prespecified covariates.Ethics and disseminationThe study has been approved by the Regional Ethical Review Boards in Linköping (2017/514-31) and Helsinki/Uusimaa (HUS/2500/2000). The BioFACTS study will be reported in accordance with the Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology recommendations.Trial registration numberNCT04674592.

Endoscopic compartment release for chronic exertional compartment syndrome.

Project description:Exertional compartment syndrome of the leg is a condition that can cause chronic debilitating pain in active persons during a variety of aerobic activities. Nonoperative treatments using stretching protocols and activity modifications are often unsuccessful, and thus several operative strategies have been used to treat this condition. A novel technique for endoscopically assisted fasciotomy for chronic exertional compartment syndrome is described. By use of a small laterally based incision and an arthroscope, polydioxanone sutures are passed percutaneously along the anterior and lateral compartments with the Spectrum suture-shuttling device (ConMed Linvatec, Largo, FL). These sutures are used to retract the skin and subcutaneous tissues over the respective compartments. This method allows excellent visualization of the intercompartmental septum, the superficial peroneal nerve, and all perforating vessels. The anterior and lateral compartments can be safely and completely released with this minimally invasive approach. The patient is allowed to return to full activity at 6 weeks postoperatively, because of the decreased soft-tissue disruption.

A rare case of adult herpes simplex encephalitis complicated with rhabdomyolysis.

Project description:BackgroundCompelling evidence indicates that status epilepticus is a prevalent cause of rhabdomyolysis. However, cases of rhabdomyolysis induced by a single seizure accompanied by viral encephalitis are rarely reported. Herein, we present a case of adult Herpes Simplex Encephalitis complicated with rhabdomyolysis.Case presentationA 32-year-old male was patient presented with fever accompanied by episodes of convulsions, myalgia, and oliguria, which exacerbated the delirium. Routine blood examination showed impaired kidney function and elevated myoglobin (Mb) and creatine phosphokinase (CK) levels. MRI scanning revealed a damaged frontotemporal lobe and limbic system. In addition, herpes simplex virus (HSV) pathogen was identified in the cerebrospinal fluid thus indicating HSV infection. Therefore, a diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis triggered by HSV infection accompanied by epilepsy was made. Notably, the patient recovered well after early intervention and treatment.ConclusionThe case presented here calls for careful analysis of rhabdomyolysis cases with unknown causes, minor seizures, and without status epilepticus. This case also indicates that HSV virus infection might contribute to the rhabdomyolysis.

Rhabdomyolysis as a rare paraneoplastic presentation of acute myeloid leukemia.

Project description:We present the case of a 56-year-old man who presented with rhabdomyolysis and was found to have acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Our case is the first to show an association of rhabdomyolysis with AML. Although rhabdomyolysis is likely a very rare clinical presentation of AML, our case raises awareness for workup for AML in patients who present with rhabdomyolysis and other suspicious findings. Both conditions are medical emergencies and require immediate treatment.
