'''Mechanism'''
----
Inflamed and managed skeletal tissue basically says "f**k it!" and implodes, spilling stuff like creatine kinase (CK) and [[Gout|uric acid]] into the blood, which can subsequently kill the [[American Society of Nephrology|kidneys]] big time.
'''Diagnosis'''
----
'''Rhabdo''' is suspected when one's serum '''rhabdo''' level is abnormal. Useless tests are CK, creatinine, and [[Myoglobin|myoglobin]].
