A 25-year-old man developed severe rhabdomyolysis, respiratory paralysis, and acute renal failure, having previously experienced rhabdomyolysis after muscular exercise.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report highlights a severe presentation of rhabdomyolysis with respiratory paralysis and acute renal failure in a young man with a history of exercise-induced myoglobinuria.

Hamilton and associates (77:77-82, 1972) prompts us to report a similar case of our own.A 25-year-old white man was admitted to St. Vincent's Hospital, Bridgeport, with rhabdomyolysis. He rapidly developed respiratory paralysis and acute renal failure. There were no apparent precipitating causes except a probable attack of viral respiratory infection (1). However, a year ago he was treated here for rhabdomyolysis after muscular exercise in a football game, but without renal tubular necrosis or other complications.The laboratory data included persistent hyperkalemia, which required K+ free peritoneal...Reference1.

M. C. KOSHY (1972) conducted a case report in Exercise-induced myoglobinuria / Rhabdomyolysis (n=1). Muscular exercise / Viral respiratory infection was evaluated on Rhabdomyolysis, respiratory paralysis, and acute renal failure. A 25-year-old man developed severe rhabdomyolysis, respiratory paralysis, and acute renal failure, having previously experienced rhabdomyolysis after muscular exercise.
