Description

Sisi Wang reviews how occupational heatstroke wrecks kidneys and when doctors should start filtering the blood, in a 2026 article. Outdoor and industrial workers collapse with exertional heatstroke; muscle breakdown floods the blood with myoglobin, a direct kidney poison. From over sixteen thousand records, ninety-five sources fed this synthesis of mechanisms, biomarkers, and treatment timing.

Four injury pathways unfold on different clocks: heat itself, myoglobin-driven cell death, clotting-inflammation spirals, and gut toxins leaking in. One urine marker has direct heat-specific human evidence; a famous intensive care marker pair has none yet here. The review maps the cascade onto a biomarker-guided timetable for purification, since trials in general patients may mislead here.
