A member asked:

My mother took a fall & couldn't get up. tests show that she has enzymes leaking from her muscles. what does that mean?

Rhabdomyolysis: She has something called rhabdomyolysis. This is due to trauma to her muscles often also complicated by dehydration. Time and hydration should be adequate as treatments in most cases.
