Sažetak
Acute renal failure (ARF) is a severe complication of acute carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, which, combined with other organ lesions, may result in lethal outcome. In all vague cases of ARF with nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis, CO poisoning should be considered as a possible etiologic factor. The diagnosis is made on the basis of several simple laboratory tests: determination of carboxyhemoglobin concentration, demonstration of myoglobin in urine or of pigment granulated cylinders in urinary sediment, with positive orthotoluidine test and high CPK values originating from skeletal musculature. Many authors report on excellent prognosis in ARF due to nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis of various causes. Our case report shows that the prognosis of CO poisoned patient greatly depends on timely and appropriate treatment, severity of damage to other organs, and success of the treatment for complications such as hospital infections.
