Rhabdomyolysis constitutes an uncommon cause of acute kidney injury (AKI). A large variety causes with different pathogenic mechanisms may involve skeletal muscles resulting in rhabdomyolysis or without injury. Crush syndrome and unaccustomed physical exertion are the most common rhabdomyolysis. This study reports local cases AKI secondary to that presented a tertiary care centre over period four years. Most them were males belonged younger age group. Muscle enzyme creatine phosphokinase level was raised all patients, while myoglobinuria detected only one patient. patients (10/16) managed conservatively fluid replacement; some (6/16) needed dialysis. resolved after variable time.
