Özet

Although there have been a few reports regarding fenofibrate-induced rhabdomyolysis in patients with hypothyroidism, there are no data in literature that this could occur in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism. We report a case of subclinical hypothyroidism and end-stage renal failure who presented with rhabdomyolysis while taking fenofibrate for dyslipidemia.
