title: [Septic-toxic shock due to rhabdomyolysis in a patient treated with fenofibrate].
abstract: Lipid disorders have been treated with fibrates for many years. Rhabdomyolysis is one of the side effects of these drugs. We report a case of a septic-toxic shock due to rhabdomyolysis in a 75-year old patient, who had been treated with fenofibrate for 2 years. This case shows necessity of the standard monitoring of aminotransferase, phosphocreatine kinase and creatinine levels during treatment with fibrates.
