From Gym to ICU: A Case of Exertional Rhabdomyolysis‐Induced Acute Kidney Injury in a Healthy Young Athlete
Year: 2025
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Exertional rhabdomyolysis can rapidly progress to acute kidney injury requiring dialysis, even in young healthy athletes. Delayed presentation and inadequate hydration increase risk. Clinicians should suspect rhabdomyolysis in patients with myalgia, dark urine, or oliguria after strenuous exercise, and initiate early hydration and electrolyte monitoring to prevent severe complications.
