ABSTRACT
Rhabdomyolysis is an acute progressing disorder that may cause acute kidney injury due to the release of muscle breakdown products into the bloodstream. Muscle breakdown caused by multiple trauma, crush injury, infection, drugs, or epilepsy can lead to rhabdomyolysis. A delayed diagnosis or treatment may result in adverse outcomes and even death. This study aimed to present a case of rhabdomyolysis following intense exercise
ABSTRACT
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a genetic disease with autosomal recessive inheritance and is common in Caucasian people. The prevalence of this disease is between 1/2,000 and 1/3,500 live births, and the incidence varies between populations. Although the CF transmembrane conductance regulator gene is expressed in the kidneys, renal involvement is rare. With advances in the treatment of CF, life expectancy has increased, and some previously unobserved disease associations are now seen in patients with CF. It is important to follow patients with CF for possible abnormalities that may accompany CF. In this paper, we present two rare cases of CF accompanied by nephrotic syndrome.
