What is myolysis?

Myolysis is rhabdomyolysis syndrome. It refers to a series of clinical syndromes caused by the change of cell membrane integrity and the release of intracellular substances into extracellular fluid and blood circulation after rhabdomyosarcoma cells are damaged. The main manifestations are myalgia, limb weakness, brown urine, electrolyte disorder, acute renal failure, and serious life-threatening. To put it simply: after the muscle is seriously injured due to excessive exercise, due to cell damage, substances such as myoglobin collapse and leak into the blood.

Because the muscle system collapses and leaks, when the blood becomes sticky, it is easy to block the renal tubules, leading to acute kidney injury and even renal failure. Urine usually becomes? Soy sauce color? Or? Coke color? Even oliguria and anuria appear.

At the same time, because muscle dissolution is mostly intense and excessive exercise, it is accompanied by: muscle pain, limb weakness, muscle spasm, muscle edema and other manifestations.

Why is there muscle dissolution?

1. Excessive exercise. The intensity of exercise is too great, which exceeds one's ability to accept. In order to lose weight quickly and exercise crazily, many people can't wait to finish three days of fitness at once, which will easily lead to the rupture and dissolution of skeletal muscle and a large amount of myoglobin entering the blood.

2. If you don't warm up, you will be furious. In order to achieve more exercise in a limited time, many fat friends choose not to warm up and do high-intensity and high-density exercise directly from the beginning, but they don't know that this will cause excessive muscle contraction, leading to cell hypoxia, myoglobin dissolution and muscle cell necrosis.

3. The water supply is not timely. The most common situation of summer sports is sweating. If you sweat too much and don't replenish water, it is likely to cause muscle dissolution.

In addition to the above reasons, there are also some uncontrollable factors in daily life that lead to myolysis. For example, excessive consumption of seafood and some lipid-lowering drugs may also cause symptoms of myolysis.
