Özet

Introduction: Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical and biochemical syndrome, resulting from the exposure of the skeletal muscle to toxic substances or from diseases. The etiology of the rhabdomyolysis consists of the hereditary deficiency of muscle enzymes; drugs like colchicine, statins, and lithium; convulsion; trauma; viral infections; excessive exercise; and so on. Hypothyroidism is a clinical setting in which thyroid hormones are produced and secreted ineffectively.
