Occupational heatstroke-induced acute kidney injury: a narrative review of mechanisms, biomarkers, and the timing of blood purification initiation.

Key takeaways

This review explains how heatstroke from hard physical work can injure kidneys through muscle breakdown and protein release, and how blood filtering timing might matter. Because it is a review of past cases and not a controlled study, it shows a link but does not prove cause and effect.
