Utility of Urine Myoglobin for the Prediction of Acute Renal Failure in Patients with Suspected Rhabdomyolysis: A Systematic Review
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Urine myoglobin continues to be used as a marker of rhabdomyolysis, particularly to assess risk of developing acute renal failure and evaluate treatment success. We sought to determine the predictive validity of urine myoglobin (uMb) for acute renal failure (ARF) in patients with suspected rhabdomyolysis.
