Treating Reversible Causes of Muscle Damage

Underlying causes of muscle damage must be identified to prevent ongoing muscle destruction. Causes such as infections, trauma, hyperthermia, electrolyte abnormalities and medication induced muscle damage should be identified and addressed appropriately. In cases of drug induced rhabdomyolysis the offending agent should be identified and stopped immediately, if necessary drugs and toxins should be eliminated (e.g., gastric lavage, antidotes and/or haemodialysis) whenever possible [4].
