Inhalation-Induced Rhabdomyolysis Following Lime Solvent Exposure: A Case Report

Year 2024, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 41 - 44, 13.03.2024

Abstract

Inhalation-related rhabdomyolysis is a severe medical condition resulting from exposure to toxic substances. This case report discusses a 24-year-old male who presented with dyspnea and cough after inhaling lime solvent. Elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels were indicative of rhabdomyolysis, managed successfully with intravenous hydration. The discussion highlights the clinical implications, diagnostic challenges, and effective management strategies for such cases, emphasizing the importance of early intervention.

Kireç Çözücü Inhalasyonu Sonrası Oluşan Rabdomiyoliz: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Year 2024, Volume: 7 Issue: 1, 41 - 44, 13.03.2024

Abstract

İnhalasyonla ilişkili rabdomiyoliz, toksik maddelere maruziyet sonucu ortaya çıkan ciddi bir tıbbi durumdur. Bu olgu sunumu, lime çözücü inhalasyonu sonrası nefes darlığı ve öksürük şikayetleri ile başvuran 24 yaşındaki bir erkeği ele almaktadır. Yüksek kreatin kinaz (CK) seviyeleri, rabdomiyolizi işaret etmiş ve intravenöz hidrasyon ile başarılı bir şekilde yönetilmiştir. Tartışmada, kireç çözücü inhalasyonu vakalarının klinik sonuçları, tanı zorlukları ve etkili yönetim stratejilerini vurgulayarak erken müdahalenin önemi ortaya konulmuştur.
