How to Treat Rhabdomyolysis
Treatment may include:
Hydration
Giving large amounts of fluid is the main treatment. Fluids are usually given directly into a vein by an IV. Hydration helps to quickly flush myoglobin out of the kidneys, in order to restore their function.
Medication
Medication may include:
- Diuretics-to help flush out the kidneys
- Bicarbonate-to minimize myoglobin's toxic effects
Dialysis
Dialysis is a procedure that uses an artificial kidney machine to filter blood. The clean blood is then returned to your body.
