Key result
Recreational training induced severe rhabdomyolysis in a 26-year-old woman, resulting in bilateral lower limb pain and a serum creatine kinase elevation to 33,736 mmol.
Case report of severe rhabdomyolysis following recreational training managed with a treatment algorithm.
Clinicians should consider rhabdomyolysis after intense recreational training; single case leaves open incidence and prevention research.
A 26-year-old woman presented at the emergency department with 4 days' bilateral lower limb pain and swollen upper legs. Serum creatine kinase was elevated to 33 736 mmol. A diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis was made and she was treated using a rhabdomyolysis algorithm.
