Abstract

|
|
| Some degree of exertional rhabdomyolysis (ER), striated muscle breakdown associated with strenuous exercise, is a well-known phenomenon associated with endurance sports. However in rare cases, severe and/or recurrent ER is a manifestation of an underlying condition, which puts patients at risk for significant morbidity and mortality. Selecting the patients that need a diagnostic work up of an acute rhabdomyolysis episode is an important task. Based on the diagnostic work up of three illustrative patients treated in our hospital, retrospectively using the 'RHABDO' screening tool, we discuss the clinical and biochemical clues that should trigger further investigation for an underlying condition. Finally, we describe the most common genetic causes of this clinical syndrome. |
