From Staff and Wire Reports

Former OSU wrestler Daniel Cormier suffered what doctors called kidney failure in Beijing and has been hospitalized, according to a newspaper report.

During a phone interview with the Lafayette (La.) Advertiser from his hospital bed in Beijing, Cormier said he would likely not compete.

“My wish is to (wrestle), but something drastic has to happen in the next hour,” Cormier told the newspaper on Thursday. He was to wrestle Cuba’s Michel Batiste in the first round. “Realistically, though, it doesn’t look good. I’m trying to keep an open mind, but I’m not going to hurt myself or jeopardize my future.”

Cormier was taken to the hospital late Tuesday night. Doctors in Beijing diagnosed the kidney failure.

“This is very disappointing,” Cormier's wife Robin told the paper. “For this to happen to him now — I can’t explain it. I’m just focusing on Daniel right now. Wrestling is very, very important, but we have a life to live, too.”


Talk about bad timing, that sucks...:furious3:

That is disappointment deluxe for him.

I wonder if he has had any history of kidney problems?

This sucks! After all he's been through the past 5 years.

The next question would be his diet since he left the United States.

It just seems real odd that this would happen just before the games started for him.

Prerenal failure is the most common type of acute renal failure (60%-70% of all cases). The kidneys do not receive enough blood to filter. Prerenal failure can be caused by the following conditions:

Dehydration:- From vomiting, diarrhea, water pills, or blood loss
Disruption of blood flow to the kidneys from a variety of causes:
Drastic drop in blood pressure from major surgerywith blood loss, [color=Red]severe injury or burns, or infection in the bloodstream (sepsis) causing blood vessels to inappropriately relax
Blockage or narrowing of a blood vessel carrying blood to the kidneys
Heart failure or heart attacks causing low blood flow
Liver failure causing changes in hormones that affect blood flow and pressure to the kidney There is no actual damage to the kidneys early in the process with prerenal failure. With appropriate treatment, the dysfunction usually can be reversed. Prolonged decrease in the blood flow to the kidneys, for whatever reason, can however cause permanent damage to the kidney tissues.

Postrenal failure is sometimes referred to as obstructive renal failure, since it is often caused by something blocking elimination of urine produced by the kidneys. It is the rarest cause of acute kidney failure (5%-10% of all cases). This problem can be reversed, unless the obstruction is present long enough to cause damage to kidney tissue.

Obstruction of one or both ureters can be caused by the following:
Kidney stone: usually only on one side
Cancer of the urinary tract organs or structures near the urinary tract that may obstruct the outflow of urine
MedicationsObstruction at the bladder level can be caused by the following:
Bladder stone
Enlarged prostate (the most common cause in men)
Blood clot Bladder cancer
Neurologic disorders of the bladder impairing its ability to contractTreatment consists of relieving the obstruction. Once the blockage is removed, the kidneys usually recover in one to two weeks if there is no infection or other problem.

Primary Renal damage is the most complicated cause of renal failure (accounts for 25%-40% of cases). Renal causes of acute kidney failure include those affecting the filtering function of the kidney, those affecting the blood supply within the kidney, and those affecting the kidney tissue that handles salt and water processing.

Some kidney problems that can cause kidney failure include:
Blood vessel diseases
Blood clot in a vessel in the kidneys
Injury to kidney tissue and cells
Acute interstitial nephritis

So it was dehydration. But how did it happen?

Sounds like he was trying to cut weight.
