RESUMEN

Objetivo:

Describir un caso de rabdomiolisis y falla renal aguda asociado a la administración de quetiapina y escitalopram en un adulto joven en tratamiento por depresión recurrente. Métodos Descripción detallada del paciente y de su enfermedad actual, y revisión no sistemática de la literatura relevante.

Resultados:

Sujeto de 35 años con antecedentes de trastorno depresivo para el cual recibía escitalopram y quetiapina; presenta síntomas consistentes con rabdomiolisis y falla renal aguda luego de ingerir una sobredosis (900 mg) de quetiapina. La quetiapina y otros antipsicóticos han sido asociados a rabdomiolisis con o sin falla renal aguda. Igualmente, antidepresivos han sido asociados con episodios similares. El mecanismo que media tal asociación no ha sido encontrado.

Conclusiones:

Los antipsicóticos y los antidepresivos están asociados a rabdomiolisis en individuos con susceptibilidad biológica. Los efectos tóxicos de la serotonina pueden estar involucrados en tal asociación. Lo anterior obliga a su empleo cuidadoso en pacientes en riesgo de hiperfunción serotoninérgica.
ABSTRACT

Objective:

To describe a case of quetipiane- and escitalopram-associated rhabdomyolysis and secondary acute renal failure in a young adult suffering from recurrent depression.

Methods:

detailed clinical description of the subject's case and relevant literature was reviewed.

Results:

A 35-year old male suffering from recurrent mayor depression treated with quetiapine and escitalopram, developed rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure after ingesting an overdose of quetiapine (900 mg). Quetiapine and other antipsychotics have been related with rhabdomyolysis with or without renal failure in association or not with neuroleptic malignant syndromes. Similarly, antidepressant medications, specially venlafaxine but not escitalopram, have been associated with rhabdomyolysis. However, the exact mechanisms involved in this association have are not clear.

Conclusions:

Antipsychotic and antidepressant medications have been associated with rhabdomyolysis in vulnerable subjects. Serotonin-mediated toxicity has been proposed as a plausible etiological factor in these cases. Thus, psychotropic medications involving this neurotransmitter should be used cautiously in subjects at risk for serotonin hyperactivity.
