Rhabdomyolysis is a systemic syndrome resulting in skeletal muscle injury with the release of muscle cell contents into the plasma (Kasaoka, 2010). Acute renal failure is a common complication of rhabdomyolysis. Renal damage is caused by the nephrotoxic effects of myoblobin which is released from muscle cells (Kasaoka, 2010). The myoglobin precipitates in the renal tubules and obstructs the flow through the nephron producing injury (Huether, 2017).
Discuss the significance of the CK elevation in this disorder.
Regardless of the cause of rhabdomyolysis, the common denominator is the disruption of sarcolemma and intracellular myocyte components (Kahanov, 2012). Cell membrane destruction leads to an imbalance of sodium and potassium, which contribute
