When your urine is "this color," do not ignore it.

If you experience muscle pain, brown or reddish urine after intense exercise or activity under hot sunlight, it could be due to rhabdomyolysis.

It is an emergency condition that requires prompt action.

Rhabdomyolysis is the rapid destruction of skeletal muscle.

The contents of muscle cells are released into the bloodstream.

It refers to a syndrome.

When myoglobin, the most important component within muscle cells, is excreted in large amounts, it affects the kidneys.

Sealing the renal tubules causes severe acute kidney injury.

It can cause awakening.

The main cause of rhabdomyolysis is primarily traumatic.

It is classified as non-traumatic.

Sustaining an injury (bruise) or prolonged muscle strain

It occurs when muscles are damaged due to compression or maintaining a static position.

 

Non-traumatic causes include muscle ischemia (due to high-intensity exercise beyond physical capacity), heatstroke, hyponatremia, alcohol and drug toxicity, and metabolic factors.

Muscle weakness. Endocrine disorders (hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism, adrenal dysfunction) are mainly cited.

 

The main symptoms are muscle pain, muscle weakness, and cola-colored urine. Usually in the thighs and shoulder areas.

Weakness accompanied by difficulty lifting the limbs

It becomes difficult. Urine turns brown or red.

It is easy to mistake it for hematuria.

If these symptoms appear after trauma or excessive exercise, it is advised to seek medical attention promptly.
