Myoglobinuria may complicate acute arterial occlusion; case reports leave open its true incidence and renal sequelae.
MYOGLOBINURIA after acute interruption of the arterial supply to a limb has been reported in 2 patients, with thrombotic1 and embolic2 arterial occlusion, respectively. Despite the intense recent interest in the surgical treatment of acute arterial occlusion, we have been unable to find further reports of myoglobinuria secondary to this condition. Our experience with 2 patients recently studied leads us to believe that this sequence of events is more common than the paucity of case reports would imply.Case ReportsCase 1. H.A. (M.H. 104912), a 63-year-old man, was admitted to the hospital on March 27, 1959, for evaluation of . . .

Horowitz et al. (1960) conducted a case report in Myoglobinuria after acute arterial occlusion (n=2). Acute arterial occlusion was evaluated on Myoglobinuria. Acute arterial occlusion can lead to myoglobinuria, a sequence of events that may be more common than previously reported.
