Mr. Otis is а 74-yeаr-оld mаle with Type 2 DM that is hоspitalized fоr multiple pelvic fractures after a motor vehicle crash. Immediately after his accident, he was taken to a small, rural hospital with limited resources. He was hypotensive for several hours prior to stabilizing him for transfer to a tertiary hospital. There, he underwent computed tomography imaging (CT) with IV contrast that determined he had active bleeding in his pelvis and went immediately to surgery. The following morning you order labs and note his potassium is 5.6, SCr is 1.8 and his BUN is 28. His UA shows muddy brown casts. What is the likely diagnosis?
