Objective: To report a case of rhabdomyolysis that occurred after spinning exercise. Methods: A patient diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis received Korean medical treatment and Western medical treatment for 6 days. We observed the patient for 13 days. Clinical symptoms were evaluated with a Numerical Rating Scale (NRS) and laboratory tests, which included Liver Functional Test (LFT), Renal Functional Test (RFT), creatinine phosphokinase (CPK), myoglobin, and urine tests. Results: After treatment, the clinical symptoms were improved. In this case, acute renal failure did not occur. Laboratory results, including AST, ALT, CPK, and LDH, were also improved. Conclusions: Rhabdomyolysis can be treated cooperatively with Korean and western medical cooperative treatment.

Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a case of Rhabdomyolysis that occurred after shock related to overworking, presenting myalgia(especially in the neck), muscular weakness, and dark urine. Methods : A patient diagnosed with Rhabdomyolysis received Korean medical treatment from November $17_{th}$ to $24_{th}$. Clinical improvement was evaluated using a numerical rating scale(NRS), neck disability index(NDI), and laboratory tests which included complete blood count, kidney function, liver function, serum eletrolytes and Creatinine kinase(CK). Results : After treatment, myalgia, muscular weakness and dark urine each improved. Laboratory results, including CK, had decreased to within normal range. Conclusions : Korean medical treatment could be effective for Rhabdomyolysis patients. Further extensive studies should be carried out.

Background: Peripheral nerve injury rarely occurs in patients with rhabdomyolysis. Based on our experience and previous reports, we consider prolonged immobilization a risk factor for the development of peripheral neuropathy in rhabdomyolysis patients. Methods: This study analyzed 28 patients with rhabdomyolysis due to prolonged immobilization. We analyzed their demographic and laboratory data, clinical and imaging findings, and outcomes, and compared these factors between patients with and without neuropathy. Results: Seven of the 28 patients had peripheral neuropathy, including sciatic neuropathy or lumbosacral plexopathy. Compared to those without neuropathy, the patients with neuropathy were younger (p = 0.02), had higher peak creatine kinase (CK) levels (p = 0.02), had higher muscle uptake in bone scans (p = 0.03), and more frequently exhibited abnormal muscle findings in computed tomography (CT) (p = 0.004). Conclusions: Patients with prolonged immobilization-induced rhabdomyolysis and neuropathy had higher CK levels, increased uptake on bone scans, and more-frequent abnormal muscles on CT than those without neuropathy. These findings indicate that peripheral neuropathy is more likely to develop in patients with severe muscle injury.

횡문근융해증은 다양한 원인에 의해 발생하며 여러가지 합병증이 발생할 수 있는 증후군이다. 합병증으로 심한 대사성 이상과 여러 장기의 침범이 동반 될 수 있는데 치명적인 합병증으로는 급성신부전이 나타날 수 있으며 이를 예방하기 위해 초기에 충분한 수액 요법을 실시하는 것이 필요하다. 저자들은 학교에서 벌로 과도한 운동을 시행 받은 후 발생한 횡문근 융해증 2례를 경험하였기에 문헌 고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

목 적 : 급성 신부전은 횡문근 융해증의 중요 합병증 중의 하나이다. 저자들은 횡문근 융해증으로 진단된 환아를 대상으로 원인, 임상 경과, 검사실 소견을 분석하고 급성 신부전 및 사망의 위험 인자를 밝히고자 한다. 방 법 : 1997년 1월부터 2005년 5월까지 경상 대학교 병원 소아과에 횡문근 융해증으로 입원한 60명의 환아들의 임상 기록지와 병리 기록지를 후향적으로 조사하였다. 횡문근 융해증 진단 기준은 creatine phosphokinase (이하 CK)치가 1,000 IU/L이상이고 CK isoenzyme 검사에서 MM형이 95%이상이거나 혈중 미오글로빈이 300 mg/dL 이상이거나 소변 미오글로빈이 양성이면서 급성 심근 경색증이나 뇌졸중의 증거가 없는 경우로 정의하였다. 결 과 : 혈중 입원 시 CK 및 최고 CK는 급성 신부전의 예측 인자가 아니었고 입원 시 혈중 크레아티닌, 요산, pH 및 칼륨, 입원 당시의 수축기 혈압, 의식 상태와 급성 신부전은 유의한 상관 관계가 있었다. 입원 당시 혈중 CK, 요산, pH와 최고 혈중 크레아티닌 등의 검사실 소견과 입원 당시의 의식 상태 및 수축기 혈압과 사망과는 상관 관계를 보이지 않았으며 최고 CK는 사망과 상관 관계가 있었다. 결 론 : 소아에서 횡문근융해증과 동반된 급성 신부전의 사망률은 매우 높게 나타났으므로 급성 신부전으로 진행 여부를 예측 할 수 있는 인자를 조기에 파악하여 적극적인 치료를 해야 할 것이다. 특히 검사실 소견뿐 아니라 입원시 혈압이나 의식 상태, 유발 요인 등의 임상 상태가 예후를 예측하는 중요 인자임을 명시해야 할 것이다.

저자들은 핍뇨를 주소로 내원한 12세 남아에서 임상 소견 및 검사 소견 상 전신적 강직성 경련으로 유발뇐 횡문근융해증에 의해 초래된 급성신부전으로 진단하고 충분한 수액공급 소변의 알칼리화, 이뇨제 투여와 함께 항경련제의 사용으로 경련을 조절함으로써 급성신부전이 호전된 1례를 경험하였기에 보고하는 바이다.

Doxylamine is an antihistamine of the ethanolamine class. It is used primarily as a sleep-inducing agent. Clinicians should be aware of the complications in rhabdomyolysis patients who ingest doxylamine succinate and over-the-counter antihistamines. The easy availability of these substances increases the potential not only of intentional overdose by adults but also of inadvertent ingestion by children. Prompt intervention and careful assessment of renal function, urinary output, and serum creatine kinase levels may represent the difference between an uncomplicated and acute renal failure. Recognition of the potential for rhabdomyolysis and institution of vigorous treatment may prevent acute renal failure in patients who have taken an overdose of the drug. A 14-year-old male was found to have hematuria and oliguria. Evaluation of the patient revealed myoglobinuria, and a creatine kinase(CK) level of 117,563 IU/L. He was recovered by massive fluid administration, urine alkalization and mannitol infusion. We report a case of a suicide attempt in a child where ingestion of the doxylamine complicated by non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis with brief review related literatures.

Doxylamine succinate is an antihistamine used primarily as a sleep-induction. It can be gotten without a doctor's prescription in Korea, so it' s overdoses were frequently encountered. There were several reports that the overdoses of doxylamine might cause rhabdomyolysis, but few cases have been reported that it is related to acute renal failure (ARF). In cases that ARF occur, most of them are not severe enough to require hemodialysis. We experienced two cases of severe rhabdomyolysis complicating ARF after doxylamine overdose and treated with hemodialysis. Clinicians should be aware of the potentially lethal complications of rhabdomyolysis in patients who ingest doxylamine succinate and the needs for prompt intervention and careful assessment of renal function.

Here, we report a case of massive rhabdomyolysis following an uncomplicated repair of a ventricular septal defect in a five-month-old baby. Postoperatively, the patient was hemodynamically stable but metabolic acidosis continued, accompanied by fever and delayed mental recovery. The next day, he became comatose and never regained consciousness thereafter. The computed tomography of the brain revealed a diffuse brain injury. The patient followed a downhill course and eventually died on postoperative day 33. An unusually high level of creatine phosphokinase was noticed, peaking (21,880 IU/L) on postoperative day 2, suggesting severe rhabdomyolysis. The relevant literature was reviewed, and the possibility of malignant hyperthermia obscured by cardiopulmonary bypass and hypothermia was addressed.
