ABSTRACT

Rhabdomyolysis is a serious, potentially life threatening condition that can develop from muscle injury to infection and toxicity to medication. The classic symptoms of rhabdomyolysis are dark reddish-brown urine, muscle pain and stiffness, muscle weakness, and overall fatigue. Diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis based on myoglobinuria, muscle pain, and extremely elevated circulating creatine kinase values. Here we present a case of exertional rhabdomyolysis with acute kidney injury with acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) that occurs in a healthy, fit 24year old male athlete. Patient was managed conservatively with intravenous fluids and other supportive measures.
