Overview

Injuries leading to rhabdomyolysis can be due to mechanical, physical, and chemical causes.

Causes

Causes by Pathophysiology

Rhadomyolysis

Traumatic or Muscle Compression

Non - Traumatic

Non - Traumatic Exerional

Non - Traumatic Non - Exerional

Non - Traumatic Exerional Rhadomyolysis in a Normal Muscle

Non - Traumatic Exerional Rhadomyolysis in an Abnormal Muscle

❑Crush Injury ❑Coma ❑Post Ictal state ❑Post - Operative Surgical trauma ❑Electrical Injury ❑Compartment Syndrome ❑Immbilizaion

❑Exertional ❑Heat Stroke ❑Sickle Cell Trait ❑Hypokalemia ❑Hyperkinetic States Such as *Grand-mal Seizures *Delirium Tremens *Psychotic agitation *Amphetamine Overdose

Metabolic myopathies

Mitochondrial myopathies

Malignant hyperthermia

Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

Metabolic myopathies	Mitochondrial myopathies	Malignant hyperthermia	Neuroleptic malignant syndrome
Disorders of glycogenolysis Myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle disease) Phosphorylase kinase deficiency Disorders of glycolysis Phosphofructokinase deficiency Phosphoglycerate kinase deficiency Phosphoglycerate mutase deficiency Lactate dehydrogenase deficiency Disorders of lipid metabolism Carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency Carnitine deficiency Short-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency Long-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase deficiency Lipin-1 deficiency Disorders of purine metabolism Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency Other defects Malignant hyperthermia susceptibility caused by RYR1 gene mutations Alpha-methylacyl-CoA racemase (AMACR) deficiency Brody myopathy (Calcium adenosine triphosphatase deficiency)	Isolated myopathy Chronic progressive external ophthalmoplegia (CPEO) Kearns-Sayre syndrome Severe encephalomyopathy of infancy or childhood Barth syndrome GRACILE syndrome Leigh syndrome (subacute necrotizing encephalomyelopathy) Mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) Myoclonic epilepsy with ragged red fibers (MERRF)	Volatile anesthetic agent Halothane, Isoflurane, Sevoflurane, Desflurane Depolarising Neuro-Muscular Blocker succinylcholine	Neuroleptics Aripiprazole Asenapine maleate Chlorpromazine Clozapine Fluphenazine Haloperidol Iloperidone Loxapine Olanzapine Paliperidone Perphenazine Prochlorperazine Quetiapine Risperidone Thioridazine Thiothixene Trifluoperazine Ziprasidone Antiemetic agents Domperidone Droperidol Metoclopromide Prochlorperazine Promethazine Anti Parkison drug withdrawl L-Dopa Bromocriptine Cabergoline }} Mechanical Causes Burns Choreoathetosis Compartment syndrome Compression by a tourniquet left for too long Crush trauma Excessive exertion Intractable convulsions Local muscle compression due to comatose states Rigidity due to neuroleptic malignant syndrome Surgery Physical causes Electric current Extreme physical exertion (although most heavy exercise does not cause kidney damage) High fever or hyperthermia Chemical causes Alcohol Anoxia of the muscle (e.g., Bywaters' syndrome, toxin- and drug-related) Antibiotics Any drug that directly or indirectly impairs the production or use of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) by skeletal muscle, or increases energy requirements so as to exceed ATP production, can cause rhabdomyolysis. Certain mushrooms like Tricholoma equestre Electrolyte abnormalities Endocrinopathy First-generation H1-receptor antagonists (e.g., diphenhydramine) Heritable muscle enzyme deficiencies Metabolic disorders, Skeletal muscle relaxants that are consumed in overdose are rarely associated with this condition.
