Serum Cardiac Troponin I, Creatine Kinase (CK), and CK-MB in Early Posttraumatic Rhabdomyolysis

18 multiple injured trauma patients with rhabdomyolysis (CK activity >500 U/L) during the first 24 h after admission, median age 30, median ISS 31. 9 patients had chest trauma. Exclusions: age >55 years, Injury Severity Score (ISS) <16, and history of prior cardiac or renal disease.
