title: [Pathology of crush syndrome].
abstract: Clinico-anatomical analysis of surgical material (32 cases) and 86 autopsy cases of myorenal syndrome (crush syndrome) is presented. Clinically in all cases there were symptoms of acute renal (hepatico-renal) failure which was a cause of death during the first 2 weeks. Septic complications were a cause of death at later periods. Grave alterations of traumatic, metabolic and septic origin were found in many organs in all cases. The sources of sepsis were decompressing longitudinal cuts and fasciotomies, shunts, lacerated wounds, catheters. Combined local treatment of wounds with sorbents, antibiotics, proteolytic enzymes, quantum therapy facilitated the destruction of bacteria and loss of their activity, wound purification and thus allowed coping with septic complications.
