Crush syndrоme (i.e., trаumаtic rhаbdоmyоlysis) is an ischemia-reperfusion injury when compressive forces on the muscle tissues are released. Traumatic damage to muscle tissue could break down myoglobin and damage the kidneys as a result. With damaged kidneys, people won’t be able to remove potassium from the bloodstream, which leads to hyperkalemia. Based on what you have learned from Neuroscience class, what is the possible reason why Crush syndrome could be lethal?
