==Overview==
Injuries leading to rhabdomyolysis can be due to mechanical, physical, and chemical causes.
The aetiological spectrum of rhabdomyolysis is extensive in many cases, multiple muscle insults are usually needed to produce rhabdomyolysis unless an underlying [[myopathy]] is present. The most common causes of rhabdomyolysis in adults are [[illicit drugs]], [[alcohol abuse]], [[medication]], [[myopathy|muscle diseases]], [[trauma]], [[neuroleptic malignant syndrome]] (NMS), [[seizures]] and [[immobility]], Whereas in paediatric patients, the most common causes are [[myositis|viral myositis]], [[trauma]], [[connective tissue disorders]], [[exercise]], and [[drug overdose]].<ref name="pmid19841484">Khan FY (2009) [https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=19841484 Rhabdomyolysis: a review of the literature.] ''Neth J Med'' 67 (9):272-83.

Overview

The aetiological spectrum of rhabdomyolysis is extensive in many cases, multiple muscle insults are usually needed to produce rhabdomyolysis unless an underlying myopathy is present. The most common causes of rhabdomyolysis in adults are illicit drugs, alcohol abuse, medication, muscle diseases, trauma, neuroleptic malignant syndrome (NMS), seizures and immobility, Whereas in paediatric patients, the most common causes are viral myositis, trauma, connective tissue disorders, exercise, and drug overdose.[1]
