摘要：Rhabdomyolysis(RM)refers to a pathological condition of skeletal muscle cell damage leading to the release of in-tracellular toxins into the blood circulation,resulting in po-tentially critical organ dysfunction and biochemical meta-bolic disorders.[1-3]The most common causes of RM are non-traumatic,such as drugs(i.e.,statins),infections,break-through seizures,electrolyte disorders and metabolic dis-eases.[4-7]RM is rare in older adults and its etiology in this age-group can be multifactorial and complex.One study showed that falls(with or without immobilization)were the leading cause of RM in adults aged 65 years and older,ac-counting for 56.9％of all cases in this age-group.[8]RM due to hypokalemia,a common clinical electrolyte disorder af-fecting muscle cell membrane stability has also been re-ported in older adults.[9,10]
