Key result
Rest and intravenous perfusion resolve exertion-induced rhabdomyolysis and prevent renal involvement in a 30-year-old male.
Why the study?
Bilateral rhabdomyolysis of the long head of the triceps following intensive exercise is a rare clinical presentation requiring detailed diagnosis and management.
Population

Alerts clinicians to isolated triceps rhabdomyolysis after weightlifting; single case leaves open incidence and prevention strategies.
Case Report (n=1)
Intensive exercise can induce localized rhabdomyolysis, which can be successfully managed with rest and intravenous fluids to prevent renal complications.
Hoffman et al. (2002) conducted a case report in Bilateral rhabdomyolysis of the long head of the triceps (n=1). Complete rest and intravenous perfusion was evaluated on Clearance of clinical and biological abnormalities and prevention of renal involvement. Complete rest and intravenous perfusion allowed clearance of clinical and biological abnormalities and prevented renal involvement in a 30-year-old male with exertion-induced rhabdomyolysis.
