This is good, simple and concise, you should add that STATIN drugs (adverse effect) can lead to Rhabdo. It's a common nursing/pharm question that doesn't get talked about a lot.

Excellent point, thanks for your input!

I've just spent 4 nights in hospital with rhabdo - first time ever lifting weights, went too hard too fast. The next day I felt like a car hit me, I couldn't even wash my hair in the shower. My urine was dark/brown and had a dull pain at my lower back. After having bloods taken it turns out my CK level was at 67000 - safe level is below 1000, normal around 300-500. I was put on IV drips for 4 days straight to flush my system so my kidneys and other organs wouldn't fail. Essentially, if you worked out really hard and can hardly move your body without pain and your urine is unusually dark (and I mean like brown) go to the hospital ASAP.

Excessive exercise is definitely one of the risk factors for developing rhabdomyolysis. Thanks for sharing your story. I hope you feel better!

You’ve prepared me for my test in the ICU. Thank you ❤

I'm so glad! Thanks for watching!

I had Rhabdomyolysis (exercise induced) and it was very scary. Thank you for teaching about this. Hospitals need to be more aware of this condition because my doctor needed to research this while I was in recovery

Thank you for your feedback!

Wonderful video! Just to add, a newer yet severe risk factor for this condition is the chronic or long term use of stimulant medication effects (adderall, Ritalin). Can be very severe yet more and more patient case studies are being released due to this cause.

Thank you for your input! Here is an article I found that pertains to this finding: www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9417488/

Thank you, this was very clear and informative. I definitely understand rhabdo better now and I'll have a clear picture now when I'm treating it.

Does a muscle strain ever lead to rhabdo? I guess what im getting at is it possible for it to go unnoticed?

A simple muscle strain is less likely to cause rhabdomyolysis. However, if multiple large muscle groups are involved and/or there is a large hematoma formation (from a crush injury, for example), it can certainly lead to rhabdo. It it possible to go unnoticed, especially if the patient is also dehydrated. The example I like to use are older patients who fall and don't get found for a few days. The initial injury may have been minor but because they are now unable to move and unable to eat and drink, they are at a higher risk. Hope this helps!
