Overview
Injuries leading to rhabdomyolysis can be due to mechanical, physical, and chemical causes.
Causes
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)[1]
- 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.[2]
- 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.[3]
- Statin
- Various animal toxins
