MYOGLOBINURIA AFTER HEMORRHAGIC-SHOCK IN A PREMATURE-INFANT

A case of myoglobinuria after hemorrhagic shock, secondary to massive gastric bleeding, in a premature infants is reported. Rabdomyolysis an d myoglobinemia were secondary to a non traumatic, acute, hypoxic and hypovolemic stress that complicated the recovery the recovery phase of RDS. The amount of free hemoglobin transfused, having a greater affin ity for the common vector protein, broke the aptoglobin-myoglobin bond to its advantage, facilitating myoglobin renal excretion.
