Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Pathophysiology
  • Clinical Medicine

Context:

  • Rhabdomyolysis involves muscle cell death and release of cellular contents.
  • It presents a spectrum of severity, from mild enzyme elevations to critical illness.
  • Critically ill patients represent a significant focus for understanding rhabdomyolysis.

Purpose:

  • To review current knowledge on the pathophysiologic mechanisms of myocyte injury.
  • To outline the diverse causes and consequences of rhabdomyolysis.
  • To discuss treatment strategies, with emphasis on critically ill populations.

Summary:

  • Rhabdomyolysis is defined by striated muscle necrosis and release of intracellular components.
  • Clinical manifestations vary widely, including asymptomatic cases, electrolyte disturbances, and acute kidney injury.
