To describe the syndrome of exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis and to investigate the relation between exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis and the development of acute renal failure. ⋯ Previous literature has described a 17% to 40% incidence of acute renal failure in rhabdomyolysis. None of our patients developed acute renal failure, signifying a much lower incidence of acute renal failure in exercise-induced rhabdomyolysis without nephrotoxic cofactors than in other forms of rhabdomyolysis.
