The 1990 Iran earthquake affected two states with a combined population of 2,300,000. It resulted in at least 13,888 @entity204 , 43,390 injured, and 33,616 hospitalized. The overall mortality among hospitalized @entity1 was 0.17%. @entity810 ( @entity810 ) requiring dialysis support was diagnosed in 156 @entity1 nationwide, with a mortality rate of 14%. Three teaching hospitals of Tehran @entity910 ( @entity910 ) admitted 495 @entity1 , with total mortality of 7.5%. Of these, 30 @entity1 (6%) required dialysis, with a mortality of 40%, accounting for 12 of the @entity204 . On admission, @entity1 with @entity810 were more severely injured and had significantly higher incidence of @entity1230 ; @entity1897 ; elevated muscle enzymes, @entity972 , and @entity3151 ; and abnormal urinalysis. In one of these hospitals, @entity1 were treated with a specific hydration protocol coupled with a cautious approach to fasciotomy. The incidence of @entity810 , mortality associated with @entity810 , and fasciotomy were lower in this group. Based on these findings, guidelines are suggested that may be helpful in the treatment of @entity810 in earthquake victims.
