What 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

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?
  • Are you experiencing muscle pain?
  • Do you have blood in your urine?
  • Are you experiencing any pain or discomfort in your arms or legs?

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.
