Abstract
Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening syndrome that causes acute kidney injury. Association of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and myoglobin induced acute tubular necrosis (ATN) is rarely reported in the literature. Here, we report a young male who was admitted with fever of unknown origin. Diagnosed to have AML with renal failure and subsequently succumbed to illness, whose post mortem renal biopsy confirmed myoglobin induced ATN.
