What indicators to look for in rhabdomyolysis

Rhabdomyolysis mainly depends on laboratory tests and imaging tests. Laboratory tests include creatinine enzyme level, urine routine and sediment microscopy, renal function, coagulation function and so on, and imaging tests are mainly muscle MRI. 1. Creatinine enzyme level: Creatinine enzyme level is the most important test for rhabdomyolysis, and most of the patients with rhabdomyolysis will have significantly elevated levels of creatine kinase. 2. Urine routine and sediment microscopy: to clarify whether there are myoglobin, red blood cells and other components in the formed fraction of urine. 3. Renal function tests: to check the level of creatinine and urea nitrogen, because severe rhabdomyolysis can cause kidney damage, therefore, creatinine and urea nitrogen are obviously elevated to help the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis disease. 4. Coagulation function: mainly used to check whether the patient is complicated by disseminated intravascular coagulation. 5. Muscle MRI: This test assesses the severity of muscle necrosis and can also be used to identify other muscle lesions. Patients with rhabdomyolysis need to be treated systematically under the guidance of a doctor and consult with the doctor in time, and must not be negligent or deal with it blindly on their own, so as not to delay or aggravate the condition.
