  2. Rhabdomyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis

    The diagnosis is supported by a urine test strip which is positive for "blood" but the urine contains no red blood cells when examined with a microscope. [3] Blood tests show a creatine kinase activity greater than 1000 U/L, with severe disease being above 5000–15 000 U/L. [5] The mainstay of treatment is large quantities of intravenous ...

  3. Lambert–Eaton myasthenic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambert–Eaton_myasthenic...

    Chest X-ray showing a tumor in the left lung (right side of the image) The diagnosis is usually made with nerve conduction study (NCS) and electromyography (EMG), which is one of the standard tests in the investigation of otherwise unexplained muscle weakness. EMG involves the insertion of small needles into the muscles.

  4. Myoglobinuria - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myoglobinuria

    Signs and symptoms of myoglobinuria are usually nonspecific and needs some clinical prudence. Therefore, among the possible signs and symptoms to look for would be: [2] Swollen and painful muscles; Fever, nausea; Delirium (elderly individuals) Myalgia; Dark urine; Calcium ion loss

  5. Exertional rhabdomyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exertional_rhabdomyolysis

    Muscle degeneration from rhabdomyolysis destroys the myosin and actin filaments in the affected tissue. This initiates the body's natural reaction to increasing perfusion to the area allowing for an influx of specialized cells to repair the injury. However, the swelling increases the intracellular pressure beyond normal limits.

  6. Benign fasciculation syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Benign_fasciculation_syndrome

    The main symptom of benign fasciculation syndrome is focal or widespread involuntary muscle activity (fasciculation). [1] The benign twitches usually have a constant location. [2] Other common symptoms are generalized fatigue or weakness, paraesthesia or numbness, and muscle cramping or spasms. [1]

  7. Adenosine monophosphate deaminase deficiency type 1

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_monophosphate...

    Muscle weakness. Muscle weakness is not a major symptom, though the progressive effects of chronic muscle damage from rhabdomyolysis will eventually cause significant weakness. Similarly, the long-term metabolic effects may result in nerve damage. [6]

  8. Neurogenic bladder dysfunction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurogenic_bladder_dysfunction

    Treatment depends on the type of neurogenic bladder and other medical problems. Treatment strategies include catheterization, medications, surgeries or other procedures. The goals of treatment focus on preserving the structure and function of the upper urinary tract, and on improving the quality of life for patients with neurogenic bladder. [2]

  9. Sporadic late-onset nemaline myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sporadic_late-onset...

    The myopathic EMG demonstrates fibrillation potentials. The serum CK level will be normal or low normal. The muscle biopsy will demonstrate the nemaline rods, but as they are less than 1 μm in length they are easily overlooked. The sections must be trichromatically stained and sectioned at a thickness of 2 to 4 μm for effective visualization.
