Reporting of blood pressure data in medical journals.

Abstract

Myoglobinuria is an uncommon but important cause of acute tubular necrosis.' It was originally described in association with trauma but also occurs in cases of non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis, when diagnosis may be more difficult.2 'Infusion intravenous urography is a standard investigation for acute renal impairment of obscure cause1; we report a case of acute renal failure precipitated by administration of radiographic contrast medium in a patient with undiagnosed rhabdomyolysis and renal impairment.
