  • Title: Acute renal failure resulting from rhabdomyolysis following a seizure.
    Author: Gupta P, Singh VP, Chatterjee S, Agarwal AK.
    Journal: Singapore Med J; 2010 Apr; 51(4):e79-80. PubMed ID: 20505902.
    Abstract:
    A 30-year-old Indian man presented with progressive renal impairment following a seizure. The complaint of troublesome back pain led to the suspicion of rhabdomyolysis being the cause of acute renal failure. The diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis was supported by a markedly elevated serum creatinine phosphokinase level. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a right paraspinal muscle tear. The patient underwent haemodialysis and subsequently had a rapid and complete recovery.
