Resumen de Rhabdomyolysis
Non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis may be caused by a direct insult to the cell membrane, affecting its ability to maintain ion gradients, or be secondary to local muscle compression as a result of coma or seizures. Acute renal failure and peripheral nerve damage are the two most common and important complications observed, although hyperkalaemia leading to a dysrhythmia is the main cause of death.
