Abstract :
We present an adolescent with McArdle disease and recurrent
acute kidney failure due to rhabdomyolysis. The patient was
admitted with acute kidney failure for 3 times and due to a
history of proximal weakness, fatigue, and muscular cramps after
physical activities a glycogen-storage disease was suspected. Serum
creatine phosphokinase and urine myoglobin were found to be
elevated. McArdle disease was diagnosed based on pathologic
examination of muscle tissue specimen. Patients presenting with
rhabdomyolysis following strenuous exercise should be evaluated
for McArdle disease.
