Acute renal failure in McArdle's disease. 1979

G E Stamos, and T T Crouch, and W G Wood, and J N Sharma

A case of reversible acute renal failure in an adult with myophosphorylase deficiency (McArdle's disease) is described. Myoglobinuria, possibly abetted by intravenous urography, was incriminated as the cause of impairment of renal function.A muscle biopsy specimen contained necrotic fibers and no histochemically demonstrable phosphorylase activity. Ultrastructurally, nonspecific degenerative changes were observed.

D006008	Glycogen Storage Disease	A group of inherited metabolic disorders involving the enzymes responsible for the synthesis and degradation of glycogen. In some patients, prominent liver involvement is presented. In others, more generalized storage of glycogen occurs, sometimes with prominent cardiac involvement.
