Try Free Symptom QuizWhat is Rhabdomyolysis?
Rhabdomyolysis is caused by the breakdown of muscle fibers, which release their contents into the blood, leading to electrolyte disturbances and kidney failure. If not treated, it can be potentially fatal. Causes include crush injuries to muscles, overexertion, alcohol misuse, and certain medications that can cause spontaneous muscle injury.
Typical Symptoms of Rhabdomyolysis
- Fever
- Taking medication for high cholesterol
- Muscle pain
- Bloody or red urine
- Pain in the arms and/or legs
- Weakness in arms or legs
- Muscle pain in the limbs when pressed or squeezed
- Fatigue
Diagnostic Questions for Rhabdomyolysis
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Do you have a fever?
- Are you taking cholesterol-lowering medications?
- Do you have muscle pain?
- Have you ever had red or brown urine?
- Do your arms and/or legs hurt?
Treatment of Rhabdomyolysis
Rhabdomyolysis treatment involves fluid support to flush toxins from the body and prevent kidney failure. Muscles typically recover over time. If the kidney stops functioning, temporary dialysis may be needed to remove toxins and maintain a healthy electrolyte balance. Physical therapy can help strengthen muscles after an initial recovery period.
