Rhabdomyolysis After Sleeve Gastrectomy: Increase in Muscle Enzymes Does not Predict Fatal Outcome
2008
Introduction
Rhabdomyolysis (RML) is a clinical and biochemical syndrome caused by destruction of skeletal muscles and constitutes a complication of bariatric surgery, with an incidence near to 22%. It is accompanied by increase in serum of intracellular enzymes. Laboratory data as predictive of prognosis have been evaluated by some authors. We report a case of RML after a sleeve gastrectomy, with good prognosis despite a very extensive muscle damage and very high seric and urinary peaks of intracellular enzymes.
