BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE.: Heme-proteins, besides causing renal tubular obstruction, may contribute to rhabdomyolysis-induced renal injury through a heme-iron-mediated lipid peroxidation process. In the present study, we compared the combined therapy of a lipid peroxidation inhibitor, 21-aminosteroid (21-AS) and fluid-alkaline-mannitol (FAM) diuresis with either of them alone to determine the efficacy of the combination therapy and to delineate the roles of lipid peroxidation and cast formation.
METHODS AND RESULTS.: Employing Raman spectroscopy, we confirmed in vitro the ability of 21-AS to inhibit iron-induced fatty acid peroxidation. 21-AS was then administered to rats developing renal failure from glycerol-induced rhabdomyolysis. Although 21-AS inhibited rhabdomyolysis-induced plasma and renal lipid peroxidation, renal protection was incomplete. Administration of FAM to inhibit cast formation afforded a better renal protection. However, when these therapies were combined to inhibit both lipid peroxidation and cast formation, there was a synergistic renal functional protection. This was accompanied by a maximum inhibition of renal and plasma lipid peroxidation, as well as, renal tubular necrosis and cast formation. Compared to combination therapy, FAM therapy alone, despite identical volume, was accompanied by a higher tubular necrosis and cast formation.
CONCLUSIONS.: That combining a lipid peroxidation inhibitor with fluid-alkaline diuresis in rhabdomyolysis further lowers renal lipid peroxidation, tubular necrosis and cast formation and synergistically limits renal dysfunction (i) supports a role for lipid peroxidation in the pathophysiology of rhabdomyolysis ARF, (ii) underscores the role of intratubular heme retention, a cause for tubular obstruction as well a source for prodigious amount of iron, likely involved in the lipid peroxidation, and (iii) raises the possibility of interactions between non-oxidant and oxidant mechanisms.
