| | s030205b - Rhabdomyolysis - Exercise Induced |
 | | Abstract: Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome resulting from the breakdown of skeletal muscle fibers with leakage of muscle contents into the circulation. | | | In particular, rhabdomyolysis associated with acute renal failure is frequently observed in critically ill patients, with a 6-16% reported incidence in Intensive Care Units. | | | Abstract: INTRODUCTION: Exercise rhabdomyolysis (ER) is a rare, sometimes catastrophic condition where muscle fibers breakdown in response to exertion and release their breakdown products into the circulation. |

| | Moreover, elevated CK levels in the range for rhabdomyolysis are associated with an increased risk of acute renal failure and death.[8] The expanding body of literature regarding the association of elevated CK levels with isotretinoin should alert physicians to consider routine evaluation of CK levels in all patients being treated with isotretinoin. | | | Isotretinoin, an effective therapy for nodulocystic acne and dissecting cellulitis of the scalp, has many known side effects. | | | Nontraumatic etiologic factors associated with rhabdomyolysis include muscle exertion, infectious diseases, metabolic conditions, toxins, and drugs.[4] Moreover, nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis may be responsible for 5-70f all cases of acute renal failure.[5,6] We report a patient with a significant elevation in CK after beginning therapy with isotretinoin for DCS. |
