Question: How Is Rhabdomyolysis Treated?
Answer: If they catch it early, doctors treat Rhabdomyolysis by introducing much higher than normal amounts of fluids into the body. Much of the harm that Rhabdomyolysis causes lies in the fact that toxic particles quickly build up in the kidneys, causing them to start to shut down. The idea behind introducing lots of fluids is to force the kidneys to work overtime, and to flush away the harmful particles that collect in the kidneys as the muscle tissue decays. Diuretics and other medicines may also be prescribed to aid this process of cleansing the kidneys. If Rhabdomyolysis is not caught early, it can cause permanent harm, in the form of loss of muscle mass and kidney failure, so it’s important to alert your doctor at the first sign of trouble.
