A 49-year-old hypothyroid man developed rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure. He had been on thyroid replacement therapy for 17 years following removal of a benign pituitary tumor. Rhabdomyolysis was diagnosed by elevated liver enzymes, CPK, and creatinine. The case illustrates how hypothyroidism can cause rhabdomyolysis and subsequently, acute renal failure.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007037 Hypothyroidism A syndrome that results from abnormally low secretion of THYROID HORMONES from the THYROID GLAND, leading to a decrease in BASAL METABOLIC RATE. In its most severe form, there is accumulation of MUCOPOLYSACCHARIDES in the SKIN and EDEMA, known as MYXEDEMA. It may be primary or secondary due to other pituitary disease, or hypothalamic dysfunction.
