I just received a call from my aunt saying "My uncle is now in the hospital and he has to stay in since they found meat in his urine" My question is how come ???? and what do you think he has???
We presume the term meat means muscle in Urine. Normally urine will not contain muscle in it. There can't be muscles present in the urine. But myoglobin, a protein present in the muscle cells, can be found in the urine in cases of muscle destruction. Hemoglobinuria is usually the result of rhabdomyolysis or muscle destruction. Any process that interferes with the storage or use of energy by muscle cells can lead to hemoglobinuria. The most common causes of hemoglobinuria in adults are Alcohol and Chat Doctor.  Prolonged ethanol consumption and seizure activity, similar to excessive physical activity, can produce an imbalance between muscle energy consumption and production, resulting in muscle destruction.
