Cause of rhabdomyolysis include severe infections, including sepsis, trauma, metabolic disorders, drugs, electrolyte
abnormalities, and also hypothyroidism in rare cases. Moreover, accompany with acute ischemic stroke is a very rare.
A 56-year-old man was admitted to the ER, who presented with right side weakness, dysarthria and general weakness
occurred after sleep. He denied any previous medical and drug medication history. We found newly developed acute
infarction at parietopontine tract near left thalamus in brain MRI, and creatinine kinase (CK), trasaminases, myoglobin
and lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) were elevated. In order to investigate the cause of the rhabdomyolysis, the protein
electrophoresis was performed, and the EP pattern of serum CK isoenzyme shows MM fraction only (100%). In
addition, tests were performed to discriminate the cause of rhabdomyolysis, we found that patients with severe
hypothyroidism. Therefore we treated him antiplatelet therapy for ischemic stroke, levothyroxine therapy for hypothyroidism.
After that creatine kinase decreased and right hemiplegia, dysarthria symptoms were improved. Author
thinks hypothyroidism can cause rhabdomyolysis, which can occur acute kidney disease. As a treatment with taking
levothyroxine, rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney disease can be improved through this case report. |
