About

    Rhabdomyolysis is a medical condition characterized by the breakdown of muscle tissue, leading to the release of muscle proteins and enzymes into the bloodstream. This can result in a range of symptoms, including muscle pain, weakness, and dark-colored urine. Rhabdomyolysis can be caused by various factors, such as physical exertion, injury, certain medications, infections, and metabolic disorders. It can lead to serious complications, such as kidney damage and electrolyte imbalances. Treatment typically involves fluid therapy to protect the kidneys and address the underlying cause of the condition.
