Rhabdomyolysis

1. P

   Purpose, Prevention & Protection

   • I understand damaged muscle can release proteins and electrolytes that may injure my kidneys or disturb my heartbeat.
   • I know hard exercise, heat, crush injury, seizures, long immobility, infection, drugs, or medicines may cause it.
   • I know dehydration can make rhabdomyolysis worse, but even well-trained and well-hydrated people can develop it.
   • I seek care early because kidney failure, dangerous heart rhythms, compartment syndrome, seizures, or death can occur.
