- - - - The released myoglobin entered the bloodstream
        
        High levels of myoglobin overwhelmed the kidneys' ability to filter and process it efficiently.
        
        The damaged kidney tubules were unable to maintain proper plasma ion balance
        
        Muscle cell damage and myoglobin release contributed to fluid shifting from the plasma into the damaged muscle tissue.
        
        Dr. González initiated intravenous (IV) normal saline solution therapy to restore blood volume, improve blood circulation, and address hypovolemia.
        
        The increased fluid volume also helped flush out myoglobin and cellular debris from the kidney tubules, reducing tubule blockage.

        Complication 2: This fluid loss caused hypovolemia, resulting in low blood pressure and deficient blood circulation to vital organs, including the kidneys.
        
        Complication 1: This could lead to potential neurological and cardiac complications.
        
        In other words, myoglobin clogged the kidney tubules, impairing their function.
      - Myoglobin: a protein responsible for oxygen transport and storage within muscle cells.
        This oxygen allows for the renewal of ATP which aids in both cellular respiration and more importantly in powering myosin during muscle contractions.
