چکیده
course, and comorbid factors. Acute kidney injury is a potential major complication of rhabdomyolysis and worldwide occurs in 15% to 45% of cases. In contrast, 7% to 10% of cases of acute kidney injury in the United States are caused by rhabdomyolysis. Mortality generally ranges from 3% to 10% but can be as high as 25% in mass casualty incidents that involve crush injuries. Certain populations appear to be at increased risk for the development of rhabdomyolysis. Alcohol and recreational drug abusers, patients taking numerous medications, military recruits, and athletes training well above their level of conditioning are of particular concern. Athletes with a predominance of type II fast twitch fibers (typically sprinters and weight lifters) are at higher risk for rhabdomyolysis than are those with a majority of type I slow twitch fibers (e.g., marathon runners). A large number of genetic disorders are linked to rhabdomyolysis as well.
