Immunoperoxidase techniques and histology in the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis related acute renal failure.

This is the authors' abstract. We don't add key points for this paper.

A case of rhabdomyolysis associated acute renal failure (RM-ARF) occurring as a result of strenuous exercise is presented. Diagnostic renal biopsy was performed. The histological appearances, combined with immunoperoxidase staining for myoglobin, allowed a positive diagnosis of RM-ARF to be made and excluded the possibility of glomerulonephritis. The patient recovered completely after a stormy clinical course.
