Rhabdomyolysis-related acute renal failure
and bi-phasic calcium metabolismRamazan Cetinkaya1, Abdullah Uyanik2, Mustafa Keles3, Yusuf Bilen4
ABSTRACT
Rhabdomyolysis is one of the causes of acute renal failure (ARF) and it can be life-threatening in some cases. Hypocalcemia is prominent during the oliguric phase of renal failure and if the patient reaches the diuretic phase, hypercalcemia can develop. We report a 20-year-old male patient with rhabdomyolysis-induced ARF with bi-phasic calcium metabolism observed during the course of ARF.
KEY WORDS: Rhabdomyolysis, Acute renal failure, Hypocalcemia, Hypercalcemia, bi-phasic calcium metabolism.
