What Is Rhabdomyolysis?
Question: Are you familiar with rhabdomyolysis
Brief Answer:
Muscle tissue damage.
Detailed Answer:
Welcome to health care magic.
Rhabdomyolysis is a condition that may occur when muscle tissue is damaged due to an injury in which muscle in the body is damaged.
Is a serious syndrome due to a direct or indirect muscle injury. It results from the death of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the bloodstream. This can lead to complications such as renal (kidney) failure.
Symptoms may occur in one area of the body or affect the whole body. Also, complications may occur in early and later stages.
Creatine kinase (CK) is the single most useful laboratory study for the evaluation of patients with a suspected myopathy. The CK is elevated in the majority of patients with muscle disease but may be normal in slowly progressive myopathies.
Would suggest an ultrasound abdomen to see the kidney condition its parenchyma status, and doppler evaluation for renal well being.
An echocardiography and an ECG to confirm the cardiac well being.
Prognosis depends on the renal condition and renal function test results.
Good luck.
Hope i have answered your query,
