CrossFit exercises can lead to severe exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis requiring hospitalization and IV fluids, highlighting a potentially underdiagnosed condition.
Meyer et al. (2017) conducted a case report in Exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis (n=1). CrossFit workout was evaluated on Development of rhabdomyolysis. A CrossFit workout induced severe rhabdomyolysis in a 31-year-old female, resulting in a creatine phosphokinase level of 18,441 U/L and requiring a 2-day hospitalization for IV fluid treatment.
