Abstract

Rhabdomyolysis is one of the causes of acute renal failure (ARF) and it can be life-threatening in some cases. Hypocalcemia is prominent during the oliguric phase of renal failure and if the patient reaches the diuretic phase, hypercalcemia can develop. We report a 20-year-old mate patient with rhabdomyolysis-induced ARF with bi-phasic calcium metabolism observed during the course of ARF.
