  • Title: Exertional rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure following the Army Physical Fitness Test.
    Author: Tietjen DP, Guzzi LM.
    Journal: Mil Med; 1989 Jan; 154(1):23-5. PubMed ID: 2493600.
    Abstract:
    Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuric acute renal failure may occur following strenuous exercise and may be more common in less physically conditioned persons. A case of moderately severe acute renal failure after the exercise involved in a routine Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) is described. This level of exertion, which is universally applied to Army personnel, should be recognized as a potential etiology of rhabdomyolysis. Prospective studies may help define the exact risk to renal function provided by the APFT.
