ABSTRACT

Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome involving the breakdown of skeletal muscle causing myoglobin and other intracellular proteins and electrolytes to leak into the circulation. There are various causes of acute rhabdomyolysis in childhood, such as direct trauma to muscle, muscle necrosis from ischemia, inflammation in muscle, or exposure to drugs and toxins. The most-important complication of this disorder is acute renal failure (ARF). However, the contributing factors to the development of ARF in children with rhabdomyolysis remain obscure. We report two cases of rhabdomyolysis after excessive exercise.

Key words: Excessive exercise | Rhabdomyolysis | ARF
