รายละเอียด / Details:
A case of a patient who developed amphetamine-rehabdomyolysis and acute renal failue after an intestinal operation is reported. He initially had biochemical evidence of myocardial injury eith a concomitant increase in cardiac marker proteins CK-MB, cardiac troponin T (cTnT) and cardiac troponin I (cTnT) during the acute event. Following intensive treatment and inprovement in renal function levels of all myocardial marker proteins towards the normal range. Late in the course of the disease however there were re-elevations of CK-MB and (cTnT) to levels exceeding 14 fold and 8 fold the upper limit of the reference range respectively. Since at present the possibility of re-expression of both CK-MB and (cTnT) in damaged and regenerating skeletal muscle can not be ruled out the late occurrence of increased CK-MB and (cTnT) in our patient should not be interpreted as evidence of recurrent myocardial injury.
