摘要: Rhabdomyolysis (lysis of skeletal muscle cells) is a potentially lethal syndrome with broad spectrum clinical and biochemical findings. Myalgia, pigmenturia elevated activity serum creatine kinase are the common features. Fulminant rhabdomyolysis may be associated severe metabolic disturbances involvement other organ systems. Cardiac arrest, compartment acute renal failure major complications. The extent life-threatening complications strongly depends on early diagnosis adequate therapy.
