Rhabdomyolysis in a patient complicated with hypopituitarism and multiple organ dysfunction syndrome and the literature review
Muscular symptoms, including stiffness, myalgia, cramps, and fatigue, are present in the majority of the patients with hypopituitarism, adrenal insufficiency and hypothyroidism, but rhabdomyolysis, the rapid breakdown of skeletal muscle, is a rare manifestation. In most patients who develop rhabdomyolysis, precipitating factors, such as strenuous exercise or use of lipid-lowering drugs, can be identified.
