- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 15-year-old athletic male who was brought to the hospital due to back pain and myalgia. He has dark red urine on admission and the laboratory analysis revealed a creatine kinase of 113 542 U/L and normal renal function. The patient underwent rhabdomyolysis and was treated with intravenous fluids. Excessive exercise was thought to be the cause of myalgia but the bone scinitigraphy showed diffuse symmetrical isotope uptake suggesting non-traumatic aetiology.
