Statin-induced delayed rhabdomyolysis. 2019

Umesh Sharma

Hospital Internal Medicine, Mayo Clinic, Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

An elderly woman with a history of hypertension, hypothyroidism, mesenteric vein thrombosis, depression and hyperlipidaemia on statins for >9 years presented with new-onset leg weakness, falls, dark-coloured urine, transaminitis and rhabdomyolysis (creatinine phosphokinase 12 896 U/L; aldolase 45.9 (normal <7.7 U/L). Workup for autoimmune myositis was negative. The patient had clinical and laboratory improvement with discontinuation of statins with the return of clinical strength and creatinine phosphokinase back to baseline levels (51 U/L) within 2 weeks.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D003402	Creatine Kinase	A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.
