  • Title: Myoglobinuria.
    Author: Rakowski TA, Cerasaro TS.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1979 Oct; 20(4):129-34. PubMed ID: 484422.
    Abstract:
    Myoglobinuria has a variety of causes, ranging from trauma to heavy exercise. Symptoms usually consist of myalgia and muscle weakness; dark, bloody-looking urine may be noted. Myoglobin can be identified by readily available laboratory techniques. Acute renal failure can be a dangerous consequence of myoglobinuria but, with rapid recognition and strict monitoring, the prognosis in most cases is good.
