Rhabdomyolysis is a condition that arises when there is damage to skeletal muscle and its degradation substances are released into the circulation. One serious consequence of this disease is acute kidney injury (AKI). This exercise goes over the etiology, pathophysiology, and clinical manifestations of rhabdomyolysis. The pathophysiology for rhabdomyolysis depends on an increase in total ionized calcium in the cytoplasm. Muscular trauma is rhabdomyolysis's most frequent reason. Reduction often occurring causes include deficiencies in muscle enzymes, anomalies in electrolytes, endocrinopathies, drugs, toxins, and viral origins. Three of the major symptoms are tea-coloured urine, weakness, and myalgia. The most accurate test indicative of muscle injury is an elevated level of plasma creatine kinase. In addition to medicines, overdoses, infections, muscular ischemia, abnormalities in metabolism and electrolytes, genetic problems, prolonged periods of bed rest or activity, and temperature-induced illnesses like NMS and MH are some potential causes of the syndrome, even if physical trauma is the primary cause. Early detection and assessment are essential for preventing AKI and improving patient outcomes. A positive prognosis is associated with rhabdomyolysis syndrome when it is recognized early and the necessary treatment is started soon. Early and intensive hydration should be a part of the treatment for patients with rhabdomyolysis. The various causes of rhabdomyolysis share the same pathophysiological pathway, which involves an increase in intracellular calcium, even if the disease's genesis is complex.
