Abstract

In brief Prompt recognition and treatment of rhabdomyolysis may prevent further muscle damage and serious renal complications. The patient presented here, an unconditioned rugby player with moderately severe exertional rhabdomyolysis, had thigh pain, thigh and knee swelling, and myoglobinuria. His rehabilitation focused on a well-monitored, progressive exercise program after his muscle injury resolved.
