지방흡인술 시술과 관련된 횡문근융해증에 의한 급성 신손상 1예

초록

Rhabdomyolysis is defined as a skeletal muscle injury with release of muscle cell constituents into the plasma. It can occur in various diseases and conditions, including muscle strain, drug or alcohol abuse, connective tissue disease, excess exercise, or following surgery. Only one case of rhabdomyolysis has ever been associated with liposuction in Korea. We experienced a case of rhabdomyolysis that developed after liposuction surgery. The patient was a 39-year-old woman presenting with abdominal pain 1 day after liposuction. She was treated with general supportive care, including massive hydration and absolute bed rest. Renal replacement therapy was performed due to pulmonary edema. She, finally, recovered fully. Acute kidney injury caused by liposuction-induced rhabdomyolysis is a rare disease. Therefore, we present this case with a review of the literature. (Korean J Med 2015;88:89-93)
