Chronic Fatigue

Rhabdomyolysis, we know, is a disorder characterized by the breakdown of the muscle tissues in the body. The breakdown of muscle cells and tissue means the contents of dying muscle cells are spilled out into the environment around them. Certain components inside of these dying muscle cells are released into the affected individual's bloodstream and begin to build up after some time. The kidneys are the organs responsible for the filtering and clearance of such components from the bloodstream so they can be excreted in the urine. The accumulation of the muscle cell components in the blood causes the kidneys to become weak. Weakened kidneys cannot produce a certain hormone referred to as erythropoietin, which tells the bone marrow to make more red blood cells. Without enough red blood cells in circulation, an affected individual will develop anemia and experience chronic fatigue.
