Rhabdomyolysis takes a few days to heal

  Rhabdomyolysis, or rhabdomyolysis syndrome, recovery time is mainly related to the severity of its condition, which can be cured in about 3 days in mild cases and may take more than 2 weeks to recover in severe cases.  Rhabdomyolysis is more common in clinical practice, mostly in people who usually exercise less, especially squats, sit-ups and push-ups and other weight-bearing exercises, resulting in lactic acid accumulation and muscle lysis in a short period of time. It can also be triggered by taking lipid-lowering drugs or eating crawfish. Patients with milder disease can show muscle pain, blood in the eyes and soy sauce-colored urine, which can return to normal in about 3 days through rest, drinking more water and urinating regularly. For patients with more severe disease, there may be oliguria, anuria and serious abnormal kidney function, i.e. uremia, in the short term, which requires hemofiltration treatment and can gradually recover in about 2-4 weeks.  If muscle cramps or symptoms such as nausea occur while exercising, it may suggest the occurrence of rhabdomyolysis, and it is recommended to stop exercising in time and go to the nephrology department of the hospital as soon as possible.
