Abstract

A 44-years-old male patient was referred to our hospital with complaint of fever, tremor and loss of consciousness. Myogloburin, CPK, blood urea nitrogen and creatinine levels in the serum were elevated. He was diagnosed with acute renal failure associated with rhabdomyolysis. The rhabdomyolysis seemed to be due to pneumonia. He recovered well after hemodialysis.
