Abstract

Abstract Nowadays, rhabdomyolysis is a common cause of acute kidney injury and it is associated with severe, sometimes life-threatening hyperkalemia. We report the case of a patient with profuse diarrheic syndrome caused by Crohn's disease who developed hypokalemia-induced rhabdomyolysis and multifactorial anuric acute kidney injury. Prompt diagnosis and treatment of Crohn's disease, along with electrolyte replacement and dialysis were followed by full recovery of renal function and correction of hypokalemia. We also review literature data regarding the rare cases presenting with rhabdomyolysis secondary to hypokalemia.
