What exactly is muscle lysis? 1. The muscles of human body need to be distinguished according to their shapes, which are mainly divided into smooth muscle and striated muscle. Skeletal and myocardial muscles that dominate body movements belong to striated muscles, which will dissolve after high-intensity exercise. This kind of dissolution is not real muscle melting, but acute destruction of skeletal muscle caused by various reasons, so that the contents of muscle cells will be released into the blood, causing a series of clinical symptoms.
Second, after muscle cells are damaged, patients with rhabdomyolysis usually have symptoms such as muscle redness, swelling, pain and stiffness. This kind of pain is different from muscle ache after normal exercise, and is often accompanied by sudden fever, fatigue and other symptoms. The patient's urine will also have obvious changes, usually showing soy sauce color, brown or red wine color, because myoglobin in muscle cells is excreted with blood.
Third, severe muscle lysis will cause a huge burden on the kidneys. After the muscle dissolves, it's like pouring a basin of dirty blood. All kinds of dirty things in the water will reach the kidneys with the flow of blood. When the kidney is overloaded, it will block and damage renal tubules, cause renal ischemia, induce acute renal failure, and even endanger patients' lives in severe cases. In fact, myolysis is not a disease, but a syndrome consisting of a series of symptoms, which will cause biochemical disorders and organ function damage. There are many pathogenic factors of myolysis syndrome, including genetic factors and acquired factors. Once myolysis happens, if we don't pay attention to the treatment and let it develop, it will also cause certain harm to the patient, and a series of symptoms will appear in the body, which will directly lead to death.
