any connection of onset of Rhabdomyolysis to a previous h.pylori infection? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hpfan592 (talk • contribs) 19:39, 16 November 2017 (UTC)

Someone put in the etymology please...

Borrowed from Ancient Greek ῥάβδος (rhábdos, “rod, wand”). It also explains rhabdomere. 2600:1700:4CA1:3C80:ED78:EA7D:6EE1:95DA (talk) 06:04, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

The "Etymology" section links to wikt:rhabdo-#Prefix which explains precisely this. JFW | T@lk 19:18, 24 November 2018 (UTC)

Alkalinisation etc

Intravenous fluids are the main intervention and bicarbonate doesn't help much. PMID 23324509 (2013) is a systematic review. JFW | T@lk 14:46, 20 August 2019 (UTC)

Thanks it's already included - PMID 35136842 CV9933 (talk) 17:02, 26 January 2023 (UTC)

Bringing causes in line with sources

I noticed at least one cause was omitted from the in-text summary despite being in the cited source. So I added that one, and gave it a more recent and better source. I've found a bunch of other very recent sources, too, and I'm not sure if it's appropriate to add those or if there are enough? Kalany (talk) 23:33, 6 July 2023 (UTC)

As a neprologist, I've found another cause for rhabdo in the right-hand pane, pls approve

DVT (deep-vein thrombosis) causes lack of blood flow to a limb (one of my cases, 45 yrs old Caucasian male, had a DVT cloth in his thigh's muscle undiagnosed for 4 days and caused rhabdo and peeing waste as a result, also as a result of 4 days latency to diagnose - they thought he was trying to score narcotics and kicked out of the free clinic - "Reality check: he was in unbearable pain") so the cause for rhabdo was a "4-days long undiagnosed, unspotted cloth killing his leg's muscle until his kidneys were trashed" and causing potassium to increase like a SpaceX-on-stereoid rocket going to Mars in 5 minutes and causing "wide complex tachycardia" as a complication, almost killing him. Nowadays, in follow-up check-ups, he's always in constant pain because of that huge 4-day lag to diagnose him so enough muscle went necrotic, enough nerves damages yet not enough to cause neuropathy and he's been living the last 15 yrs on pain, sometimes bearable and some days almost to impossible to get out of bed. Last 15 years (I acknowledge I was his attending and I made the diagnostic mistake) I've been treating him first with Codeine (didn't work), then Hydrocodone (he's wealthy enough to go to the U.S on my own prescription and one American friend of mine has always owned me a favour) because Hydrocodone is not even legal/bought/imported into Costa Rica, here the strongest is morphine and Oxycodone. That's what I try to give it to him under the CCSS free healthcare we have here, and out of guilt. When the pain is too much, I get him to buy enough Oxy (Three 20mg tablets / day = 60mg Oxy/daily, as regulated by the Ministry of Health here in CR becase he hates that Fentanyl makes him "hazy and unfocused plus the mass-media outlets who demonise the prescribing of Fentanyl which actually would be good to treat constant pain but creates myths around the drug and also the committee for "Extraordinary Prescriptions" are morons here in CR and they didn't neither try to fight for this patient life's nor treated him for 15 years.") -

So yeah, I want to add "Long-Term Undiagnosed Deep-Vein Thrombosis" as a "Cause" for rhabdo. Please approve, "Royal Chamber of Lords of the Honourable House of Lords!" 0.0-Zero.Zero (talk) 20:30, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

I'm not really sure what you're asking to be approved, can you clarify? (Also Wikipedia has a policy against adding original research, so make sure you have citations for that) Sophisticatedevening ^(talk) 20:33, 29 January 2025 (UTC)

@0.0.Zero.Zero: Your description of your patient's condition is colorful, but hardly up to the clinical standards that might be expected of a published case study. In any case, since you can't cite a publication where this case study was published, we have no basis on which to verify that your claim is true, or that DVT can be established as a cause of rhabdomyolysis based on a single observation.
