Abstract 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.
