Abstract
|
|
|
|
Kidney transplant recipients are more susceptible to rhabdomyolysis because of both the numerous medicines they take, such as immunosuppressants, lipid-lowering agents, and antihypertensive agents, and post-transplantation complications, such as posttransplantation diabetes mellitus and hyperuricemia. Pure hypothyroidism is a rare cause of rhabdomyolysis, and few cases of rhabdomyolysis induced by hypothyroidism have been reported in kidney transplant recipients. We report a case of rhabdomyolysis induced by unrecognized hypothyroidism in a kidney transplant patient, and discuss hypothyroidism and other precipitating factors as a cause of rhabdomyolysis, with a review of the literature.
