Reason for consult:
“Please evaluate pt with rhabdomyolysis related to statin/gemfibrozil combination”
History of present illnesso Patient is a 72 year old man, with pertinent
medical Hx of hypertension and hypercholeterolemia who was in his usual state of health consisting of free ambulation and self care until the day before admission when he was unable to even stand up. Patient was referring this progressive weakness since last April. He use to walk long distance from his home and had been felling more tired needing to take breaks every few blocks or so. The Monday before admission he started to have muscular pain in his extremities, more prominent in legs, and reproduce with palpation.
History of present illnesso The symptoms keep getting worse
until yesterday when he felt extreme weakness. Patient also complains of tiredness and dizziness. As per interview reveals, signs and symptoms correlate in time with recent optimization of simvastatin treatment, form 40 mg to 80 mg day.

Initial Clinical Impression
oAKI
oRhabdomyolysis; statin induces
Rhabdomyolysis
Rhabdomyolysis
o Backgrounds:
oFirst describe 1940-1941 during WW IIoCommonly to the victims of crush injury
in London during blitzkrieg bombing raids
oBywaters and Beall describe pathologic change of four patient who die during blitz operations, change were similar to the previews describe in mismatch blood transfusion
Rhabdomyolysis
o Epidemiologyo World wide
o5-20% of AKIo United State
o8-15% of AKIoEstimated 2 cases per 10,000 person-
years 26,000 total cases per yearo 85% of patients with major traumatic
injuries will experience some degree of rhabdomyolysis
Rhabdomyolysiso Pathogenesis
o Three principal mechanism:
ATP demand that outstrip ATP supply
Sarcolema increase
permeability
Sustained increase in sarcoplasmatic calcium
concentration

o Human renal biopsy showing proximal tubule injury. This image is a representative sample of a kidney biopsy for ARF, kindly provided by Dr. James Hasbargen, following exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis. The biopsy, obtained within 24 hours of the event, revealed significant proximal tubule cell damage with intraluminal accumulation of apical membrane fragments and a detached cell (*), thinning of proximal tubular cells to maintain monolayer tubule integrity (arrowhead), and dividing cells and accumulation of white cells within the microvascular space in the peritubular area (arrow). The patient required renal replacement therapy but did regain complete renal function.
