Abstract
We report a case of nonketotic hyperosmolal state associated with rhabdomyolysis. None of the known predisposing factors for rhabdomyolysis, e.g. coma, potassium or phosphate depletion, were present in this patient. We propose that severe hyperosmolality per se may represent another predisposing factor for nontraumatic rhabdomyolysis.This publication has 2 references indexed in Scilit:
