Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical syndrome where there is a sudden and excessive breakdown of muscle fibre. Causes of rhabdomyolysis can either be traumatic or non-traumatic in origin. Traumatic causes are those that cause direct muscle injury or compromise circulation. Non-traumatic causes are those that cause an inadequate energy supply or inadequate oxygenation of the muscle cell. Rhabdomyolysis can range from an asymptomatic illness to a life threatening condition. Patients may display a triad of symptoms which include muscle pain, muscle weakness and dark coloured urine. A serious complication of Rhabdomyolysis is the development of an acute kidney injury, which will further worsen symptoms. Diagnosis is made based on laboratory results, with creatine kinase levels being the most clinically useful. Treatment is aimed at managing the underlying cause, preventing an acute kidney injury, correcting fluid abnormalities and correcting electrolyte imbalances.
