Abstract

A 26-year-old male body builder diagnosed with renal artery stenosis and middle
aortic syndrome underwent an autotransplantation with bench reconstruction
and end-to-end anastomosis using the hypogastric artery. Shortly after
the procedure, the patient developed rhabdomyolysis and renal insufficiency,
possibly related to his increased muscle mass, potentially greater susceptibility
to hypertrophic skeletal muscle cells or his unique vascular condition. We
review the risk factors, diagnosis, management and outcome of a case of
rhabdomyolysis in a male patient who underwent autotransplantation for renal
vascular hypertension.
