Treatment options for rhabdomyolysis include removal of the cause, symptomatic treatment, and braking and rest. The specific treatment programs are as follows:
1. Remove the cause of the disease: For this kind of patients, the first thing to do is to remove the cause of the disease as soon as possible, so as to prevent the disease from continuing to worsen or recurring.
For example, for patients who are taking statins, the medication should be stopped immediately. For patients with compression syndrome or osteofascial compartment syndrome, the pressure on the limb should be relieved promptly, and the pressure inside the muscle should be lowered through surgery, and adequate drainage should be carried out.
2. Symptomatic treatment: For this kind of patients, in the case of mild lesions, it is necessary to give them adequate fluid supplementation and alkalinization of urine, to prevent the emergence of hyperkalemia, renal failure and other complications. Once the patient has oliguria or severe electrolyte disorders, blood purification through dialysis or bedside hemofiltration is needed.
For patients with severe pain, it is necessary to apply some anti-inflammatory and pain-relieving drugs, such as Nimesulide.
3. Braking and resting: During the treatment period, patients need to keep strict bed rest to prevent the stimulation of muscles related to continued activities, which may aggravate the condition.
It is recommended that patients with rhabdomyolysis should go to an orthopedic clinic in time. The above drugs need to be used under the guidance of a doctor, avoid self-medication.
