Rhabdomyolysis with Acute Kidney Injury Caused by Bilateral Iliopsoas Hematoma in a Patient with Atrial Fibrillation

Rhabdomyolysis is a relatively common and life-threatening disease that is sometimes complicated by acute kidney injury (AKI). Several causes have been reported, divided into traumatic and non-traumatic causes. We herein report a patient with rhabdomyolysis with AKI caused by bilateral iliopsoas hematoma. This patient had atrial fibrillation that was poorly controlled with warfarin, and bilateral iliopsoas hematoma was caused by turnover without a history of high-energy injury. Treatment with the rapid neutralization of warfarin improved his clinical condition without complications. We should pay close attention to episodes of turnover among elderly patients receiving anticoagulant therapy.
