Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyolysis is a complex medical condition involving the rapid dissolution of damaged or injured skeletal muscle. METHODS: This review focuses on the epidemiology, pathophysiology, causes, presentation, diagnosis, complications, management, and anesthetic considerations related to rhabdomyolysis. RESULTS: Any form of muscle damage--and by extension any entity that causes muscle damage--can initiate rhabdomyolysis. One of the most important treatment goals when rhabdomyolysis is suspected is avoiding acute kidney injury. CONCLUSION: All clinicians should be aware of common causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.
