Guide To The Symptoms Of Rhabdomyolysis

Bruising

Due to the reduced kidney function in an individual affected by rhabdomyolysis, muscle cell components build up in the blood and cause more stress on the kidneys. Kidneys that have reduced function do not produce an adequate amount of a hormone required to signal the bone marrow to produce red blood cells. When an individual does not have enough healthy and functioning red blood cells in their circulation, they have anemia. The lack of red blood cells in the circulation of an individual affected by rhabdomyolysis-precipitated anemia can experience problems with the formation of blood clots. Blood clots help seal up wounds in tissues and blood vessels when they become damaged to stop the individual from losing too much blood. An anemia patient does not have enough functioning red blood cells and platelets to form blood clots normally, which means they will bruise easily and more frequently than others.
