On the mechanism of rhabdomyolysis in potassium depletion
AUTOR(ES)
Knochel, James P.
RESUMO
Rhabdomyolysis and myoglobinuria occur commonly in men who sustain environmental heat injury during intensive physical training in hot climates. These also occur in patients with potassium depletion. Since physical training in hot climates may be accompanied by serious losses of body potassium, the possibility was considered that performance of strenuous exercise when potassium deficient might enhance susceptibility to rhabdomyolysis.
