Abstract EN
Rhabdomyolysis is usually caused by muscle injury, drugs or alcohol and presents with muscle weakness and pain.
It is characterized by rise in serum creatine kinase, aminotransferases and electrolytes as well as myoglobinuria.
Myoglobinuria may cause acute kidney injury by direct proximal tubule cytotoxicity, renal vasoconstriction, intraluminal cast formation and distal tubule obstruction.
Muscle pain and weakness as well as vascular injury have been reported after acupuncture.
We report a case of severe rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury after acupuncture sessions.
