Rhabdomyolysis is a serious condition that involves the breakdown of muscle fibers and the subsequent leakage of the contents of the muscles into the circulatory system. There are many conditions and injuries that can cause rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis in turn can result in many complications, some of which can be serious and life-threatening. Therefore, early diagnosis and treatment are critically important for patients with rhabdomyolysis.
Heat-related illnesses, of which hyperthermia is the most severe, can be prevented. If a heat-related illness strikes you, it is important to be able to recognize the symptoms so that you can begin to treat the illness. Heat stroke (hyperthermia) is a life-threatening condition.
