Extreme Elevation of Creatine Kinase in a Young Male Patient With Recurrent Rhabdomyolysis

Rhabdomyolysis is a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit. However, recurrent rhabdomyolysis remains a rare encounter for intensivists and presents a challenge in terms of identifying its etiology. Considerations of metabolic myopathies as a culprit remain underexplored. We present a...

description Rhabdomyolysis is a common cause of admission to the intensive care unit. However, recurrent rhabdomyolysis remains a rare encounter for intensivists and presents a challenge in terms of identifying its etiology. Considerations of metabolic myopathies as a culprit remain underexplored. We present a case of a patient with recurrent rhabdomyolysis with extreme elevation of creatine kinase.
