| Abstrakt: |
This case report presents a 38-year-old woman who developed rhabdomyolysis following severe hypokalaemia due to a thiazid diuretic. Rhabdomyolysis is a severe condition with an incidence of 28% in hypokalaemic patients. It should be considered to measure concentrations of S-myoglobin and S-creatine kinase in severe cases of hypokalaemia. Thiazid diuretics can cause severe hypokalaemia with life-threatening complications and monitoring of S-potassium is advised during therapy. |
