Rhabdomyolysis in thyroid storm.

W R Bennett, D P Huston

    The American Journal of Medicine
    |October 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Thyroid storm can cause rhabdomyolysis, a muscle breakdown condition, leading to acute kidney injury. Early recognition and treatment of this complication in hyperthyroidism are crucial for better patient outcomes.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology
    • Internal Medicine

    Background:

    • Thyroid storm is a severe, life-threatening manifestation of hyperthyroidism.
    • Rhabdomyolysis, characterized by muscle breakdown and elevated muscle enzymes, is not typically associated with hyperthyroidism.

    Observation:

    • This case report details a patient experiencing thyroid storm complicated by rhabdomyolysis.
    • The rhabdomyolysis was attributed to the inherent physiological stress of thyroid storm.

    Findings:

    • The patient presented with rhabdomyolysis and acute, reversible renal failure.
    • Serum muscle enzyme levels were elevated, challenging the typical presentation of hyperthyroidism.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the potential for rhabdomyolysis in hyperthyroid patients.
  • Prompt identification and management of rhabdomyolysis can mitigate severe acute kidney injury in thyroid storm.
