Acute Kidney Injury in Hospitalized Patients With Exertional Rhabdomyolysis.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

An association between serum creatine kinase (CK) levels and the risk of kidney failure in patients with exertional rhabdomyolysis (ERM) has been suggested. However, the actual incidence of AKI in hospitalized patients with ERM along with the contributing cofactors that may increase the risk of AKI have rarely been investigated.

Objectives

To examine the incidence of kidney injury in hospitalized patients with ERM and to identify additional cofactors that might contribute to the development of kidney injury in patients with ERM.

Design, setting, and participants

This retrospective cohort study was conducted in a diverse community population of patients 18 years or older with ERM who were hospitalized across Kaiser Permanente Northern California between Janu
