Rhabdomyolysis

• Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome resulting from the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers with leakage of muscle contents into the circulation. 
• The most common causes are crush injury, overexertion, alcohol abuse, and certain medicines and toxic substances. 
• Several inherited genetic disorders, such as McArdle's disease and Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, are predisposing factors for the syndrome.
