Extensive Stray‐Dog Mauling as Major Contaminated Crush Trauma Causing Severe Rhabdomyolysis, Acute Kidney Injury, and Overt Disseminated Intravascular Coagulation: Recovery Without Renal Replacement Therapy

ABSTRACT

An adolescent male developed severe rhabdomyolysis, acute kidney injury, overt disseminated intravascular coagulation, and respiratory fluid overload after extensive stray‐dog mauling. The course reflected overlapping traumatic, inflammatory, and infectious mechanisms. He recovered without renal replacement therapy through source control, individualized antimicrobials, conservative renal support, and timely transition to de‐resuscitation.
