Rhabdomyolysis in diabetic ketoacidosis
Pediatric Diabetes, 2003 Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially lethal disorder, characterized by elevated serum concentrations of creatine kinase (CK) due to skeletal muscle injury. In this paper a patient with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) is reported who developed rhabdomyolysis (maximum CK level, 37,700 U/L; normal, < 170 U/L), anemia (6.2 g/dL) and thrombocytopenia (16,000/microL).
