true- kidney failure can occur with Rhabdo in the healthy kidney in the context of a huge muscle hit. Less likely with rhabdo from a climbing related muscle injury. Not enough muscle mass involved. Never say never though.trog wrote:rhabdomyolysis after crush injury or reperfusion injury commonly leads to renal failure in healthy kidneys; reported rarely in effort related rhabdo, usually in conjunction with compartment syndrome
More likely to occur on the spectrum of muscle injury is DOMS- delayed onset muscle soreness. Now this occurs all the time. The more-sore-the- third- day- after- a burly-workout thing we have all experience. Serum myoglobin levels and CK levels will be jacked as well as inflammatory mediators/cytokines. Interestingly, eccentric exercises like down climbing and plyometric exercises like campusing do it the most.
