Among the potential risks of strenuous exercise is a rare but serious condition known as Rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is a medical disorder that harms the kidneys. The disease results from the toxicity of destroyed muscle cells. A pigment that contains Iron, called myoglobin that exists in skeletal muscle enters the bloodstream after the muscle suffers damage. The kidneys have difficulty filtering the myoglobin out of the bloodstream, because it blocks the structures within the kidney, which can result in serious kidney damage or kidney failure. Additionally, the dead skeletal muscle can cause large shifts in fluid from the bloodstream into the muscle, which reduces the relative fluid volume of the body and can lead to shock and reduced blood flow to the kidneys.
This condition has many causes, among them are:
• Severe exertion such as marathon running or calisthenics
• Ischemia or necrosis of the muscles (as may occur with arterial occlusion or other conditions)
• Seizures
• Use or overdose of drugs-especially cocaine, amphetamines, statins, heroin, or PCP
• Trauma
• Shaking chills
• Heat intolerance and/or heatstroke
• Alcoholism (with subsequent muscle tremors)
• Low phosphate levels
