Abstract
We report a case of acute renal failure related to rhabdomyolysis in
a patient with Sheehan syndrome, while other diseases that could
cause rhabdomyolysis were excluded. The patient’s kidney function
completely recovered with 3 sessions of intermittent hemodialysis.
After thyroxine replacement therapy, musculoskeletal symptoms
disappeared and creatine kinase concentrations decreased. Steroid
replacement therapy was also administered. The present case
suggests that rhabdomyolysis could occur in a patient with Sheehan
syndrome without other precipitating factors
