Hypokalemia-Induced Rhabdomyolysis as a result of Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis in a Pregnant Woman: A Case Report and Literature Review

الملخص EN

Rhabdomyolysis in pregnancy is a rare occurrence.

The manifestation of distal renal tubular acidosis (RTA) for the first time during adulthood is uncommon.

According to a review of the literature, pregnancy may predispose individuals to rhabdomyolysis due to hypokalemia.

A reduction in interstitial potassium ions could decrease muscular blood flow and lead to muscle injury.

This report describes the case of a pregnant woman with rhabdomyolysis induced by hypokalemia resulting from distal RTA.

The patient subsequently delivered a healthy newborn.
