Abstract
HERAS, Manuel et al. Rhabdomyolysis after physical aggression and aggravated by amphetamines. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2016, vol.23, n.1, pp.44-46. ISSN 0121-8123. https://doi.org/10.10167j.rcreu.2015.12.009.
The case is described of a young man with severe acute renal failure, with anuria and toxic hyperkalemia toxic related to rhabdomyolysis after physical aggression, and had gone unnoticed on two previous visits to the Emergency Service, and subsequently aggravated by amphetamines. This case illustrates the need to consider rhabdomyolysis in patients with any degree of muscular aggression.
