Abstract
The inflammatory myopathies include a group of diseases characterized by chronic muscle inflammation associated with weakness. There are three main types, polymyositis, inclusion body myositis and dermatomyositis. In here, we report a young male who developed a sudden attack of rhabdomyolysis with extreme elevation of creatine kinase (CK) and acute kidney injury. Muscle biopsy performed and revealed changes consistent with polymyositis. The patient condition improved dramatically to corticosteroid treatment.
Keywords: creatine kinase, acute interstial nephritis, acute renal failure, chronic renal failure, polymyositis, crush syndrome
