Factors Associated With Nontraumatic Rhabdomyolysis and Acute Renal Failure of Children in Taiwan Population
Pediatric Emergency Care, 10/22/09
Wu CT et al. – The series confirmed the clinical expectation and showed that viral myositis accounted for more than half of the cases. Physical exertion was the second. Seizure disorder and sepsis were the third most frequent causes. These findings are consistent with other reports except seizure disorder. Serum creatine phosphokinase and myoglobin were reliable predictors for the development of ARF. The authors found that children with rhabdomyolysis due to seizure are at highest risk of developing ARF.
