Abstract

It is imperative that internists and hospitalists who are the frontier of care seen by the patient are aware of the red flags associated with Rhabdomyolysis. This case report discusses the clinical evaluation of Exertional Rhabdomyolysis (ER) highlighting the utility of various laboratory tests and clinical hospital course. We here in discusses the clinical evaluation of a 44-year-old male with a sedentary lifestyle who presented with an episode of acute soreness of the proximal muscles, and a near faint in the field in the heat summer month during a basketball game. He reported a prior weightlifting and aerobic running exercise 48 hours before the event. ER was complicated with an acute kidney injury (AKI). The patient’s symptoms improved during hospital admission and labs including creatinine kinase and liver enzymes and kidney function gradually was restored close to reference ranges.
