A member asked:
How frequently does rhabdomyolysis lead to kidney failure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Variable: Depends on the degree of muscle injury/breakdown and whether the patient was adequately hydrated and acidosis was adequately treated in the acute episode. Mannitol is used as a diuretic to maintain maximal urinary flow to avoid injury to the kidney as well.
