Background. Nontraumatic renal rupture due to pyelonephritis with obstructive uropathy is an uncommon but life-threatening situation. Case Presentation. A 25-year-old female presented to the emergency department with acute worsening of abdominal pain that began four weeks earlier. She was found to have peritonitis, leukocytosis, severe lactic acidosis, and a pronounced anemia and imaging was consistent with nontraumatic renal rupture with retroperitoneal abscess, perforation of the colon, and severe necrotizing fasciitis of the right lower limb. She underwent a right nephrectomy, a right hemicolectomy, surgical debridement of the retroperitoneum, and an upper thigh amputation. Due to severe septic shock and rhabdomyolysis with acute renal failure we performed a combined treatment of hemoadsorption using a Cytosorb hemoadsorber and continuous venovenous hemodialysis (CVVHD). Subsequently the patient recovered and was discharged home with no signs of infections and with normal renal function. Conclusion. We present a case of pyelonephritis with nontraumatic renal rupture leading to necrotizing fasciitis with osteomyelitis of the lower limb. The early treatment of the patient with a Cytosorb hemoadsorber led to a rapid hemodynamic and metabolic stabilization and preservation of the renal function, suggesting that hemoadsorption might be a rescue therapy in patients with severe septic shock and traumatic rhabdomyolysis.

The effects of norepinephrine on hemodynamics, vascular elasticity, cardiac pump function, and inflammatory factors in patients with septic shock remained unknown. In this study, we included 124 cases of severe septic shock patients in our hospital. The patients were randomly divided into control group (treated with dopamine) and experimental group (treated with dopamine plus norepinephrine), while the hemodynamic index (heart rate (HR)), blood vessel elasticity index, heart pump function, and inflammatory factor index were recorded. After 12 h of treatment, both groups showed decreased HR, increased levels of cardiac index (CI), mean arterial pressure (MAP), central venous pressure (CVP), peripheral vascular resistance index (PVRI), and vascular elasticity ( P < 0.05). To date, lower HR, higher levels of CI, MAP, CVP, and PVRI were observed in the experimental group ( P < 0.05). Furthermore, the vascular elastic coefficient, stiffness index, arterial compliance, and the precursors of plasma amino-terminal brain natriuretic peptide were also significantly higher in the experimental group than those in the control group ( P < 0.05). However, inflammatory cell tumor necrosis factor alpha factor test group (TNF alpha), interleukin-1 (IL-1), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) concentrations were significantly lower than the control group ( P < 0.05), compared to experimental group ( P < 0.05). This research indicates that phenylephrine could significantly improve hemodynamics in patients with severe septic shock, by maintaining blood vessel elasticity, improving heart pump function, and reducing the inflammatory factors’ activities, and this method could be used as a line of vascular tension of the medications used in patients with septic shock.
