PEREZ UNANUA, Mª. P.; ROIZ FERNANDEZ, J. C. e DIAZARAQUE MARIN, R.. Exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis. Medifam [online]. 2001, vol.11, n.9, pp.92-95. ISSN 1131-5768.
Rhabdomyolisis is defined as a clinical and biochemical syndrome resulting from skeletal muscle injury that alters the integrity of the muscle cell membrane sufficiently to allow the release of the muscle cell contents into the plasma. There is a great heterogeneity in the clinical presentation of rhabdomyolysis. Patiens often have swollen and painful muscles. Cardiac arrest, and acute renal failure are the major complications. Numerous precipitating factors of rhabdomyolysis have been described (hereditary enzyme defects, exercise, drugs, trauma, immobilization, metabolic acidosis, infectious diseases,...). We present the case of a 38 year old male, fireman and sportman, who had a two days history of myalgias, tenderness and weakness after extreme exercise.
