Article · Español
La rabdomiolisis es una enfermedad producida por necrosis muscular que provoca la liberación a la circulación sanguínea de diversas sustancias que en condiciones normales se encuentran en el interior de las células que componen el tejido muscular, entre ellas la creatina fosfoquinasa (CPK) y la mioglobina. Esta última es la causante de una de las complicaciones más graves, la insuficiencia renal. El nombre se deriva del griego ῥpαβδω rabdo-, estriado, μυς myo-, músculo, y λύσις –lisis, descomposición.
