ABSTRACT

A 54-year-old man developed high-grade fever, unconsciousness and myalgia, and was admitted to our hospital for Legionella pneumonia. The serum creatine kinase (CK) value had reached 91,110U/L, and we diagnosed him with rhabdomyolysis. We also performed polymixin B immobilized fiber column direct hemoperfusion (PMX-DHP) and continuous hemodiafiltration (CHDF) because his condition was complicated by septic shock and acute kidney injury. Thereafter, the endotoxin levels decreased to less than 5pg/mL from 15.3pg/mL and the serum creatinine (Cr) value increased only slightly in spite of the remarkable serum CK value, which indicated that the introduction of PMX-DHP and CHDF in the early phase was effective in inhibiting an elevation in serum Cr value.
