  2. Rhabdomyolysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhabdomyolysis

    Damage to skeletal muscle may take various forms. Crush and other physical injuries cause damage to muscle cells directly or interfere with blood supply, while non-physical causes interfere with muscle cell metabolism. When damaged, muscle tissue rapidly fills with fluid from the bloodstream, including sodium ions.

    Statin-associated autoimmune myopathy (SAAM), also known as anti-HMGCR myopathy, is a very rare form of muscle damage caused by the immune system in people who take statin medications. [1] However, there are cases of SAAM in patients who have not taken statin medication, and this can be explained by the exposure to natural sources of statin ...

    Common types of myopathy due to statins include myalgia, myositis, and rhabdomyolysis. Statins induce myopathy by inhibiting protein synthesis within the muscle. [6] Statin therapy tends to not show any histopathological differences, and thus a biopsy does not reveal too much about the damage. Often, the damage is found within the mitochondria. [1]

    The known cardiovascular benefits of atorvastatin over time outweigh the low risk of muscle-related side effects. [63] [62] Statin-induced rhabdomyolysis is rare, occurring in less than 0.1% of people who take statins. [64] [65] [66] Statin induced rhabdomyolysis, as with other statin associated muscle symptoms, occurs most commonly in the ...

    As the muscle dies this will cause pain to radiate from the affected area into the compartmentalized tissue. A loss of range of motion from swelling will also be seen in the affected limb. Along with muscle strength weakness associated with the muscles involved from loss of filament interaction. [15] Compartment syndrome in muscle

  9. Myopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myopathy

    (G71.0) Dystrophies (or muscular dystrophies) are a subgroup of myopathies characterized by muscle degeneration and regeneration. Clinically, muscular dystrophies are typically progressive, because the muscles' ability to regenerate is eventually lost, leading to progressive weakness, often leading to use of a wheelchair, and eventually death, usually related to respiratory weakness.
