Rhabdomyolysis may develop into acute kidney injury (AKI), a life-threatening complication. Obese people are at risk for rhabdomyolysis due to prolonged immobilization. However, there are only a few reports of rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI due to prolonged immobilization after falls in morbidly obese people. Myoglobin is a causative compound for rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI, but the lack of treatments targeting its mechanism is a problem. Two morbidly obese women (body mass index > 40.0 kg/m2) who fell on the floor at home and remained in the same posture for more than 12 h developed rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI. Both patients received aggressive fluid resuscitation but required hemodialysis because of persistent oliguria. They underwent 11 and 2 intermittent hemodialysis (HD) sessions with a conventional polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) high-flux dialyzer, respectively, and their renal functions returned to baseline after withdrawal of HD. We should be aware that morbidly obese people are at risk for rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI due to prolonged immobilization, such as after falls. At present, prophylactic renal replacement therapy (RRT) is not recommended for rhabdomyolysis. We need to reevaluate whether RRT using the appropriate membranes to effectively remove myoglobin including the PMMA membrane can improve the renal outcome in patients with rhabdomyolysis-induced AKI.
