摘　　要：Rhabdomyolysis(RM)refers to a pathological condition of skeletal muscle cell damage leading to the release of intracellular toxins into the blood circulation,resulting in potentially critical organ dysfunction and biochemical metabolic disorders.[1–3]The most common causes of RM are non-traumatic,such as drugs(i.e.,statins),infections,breakthrough seizures,electrolyte disorders and metabolic diseases.[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,accounting for 56.9%of all cases in this age-group.[8]RM due to hypokalemia,a common clinical electrolyte disorder affecting muscle cell membrane stability has also been reported in older adults[9,10].
