Excerpt
Following rhabdomyolysis there is a risk of acute renal failure (ARF). The nephrotoxic molecule is myoglobin (M). In clinical practice, creatine kinase (CK) is, however, measured to estimate the risk of ARF. It is often stated that the elimination of M is unpredictable [
1]. The aim of the present study was therefore to investigate the correlation between CK and the effector molecule M. …
