title: [Severe rhabdomyolysis revealing a myopathy linked to autoimmune hypothyroidism].
abstract: While muscular manifestations are common of hypothyroidism, hypothyroid myopathy is most often limited to myalgia, muscular stiffness and cramps with, in some patients, elevated levels of muscle enzymes. We report two cases of rhabdomyolysis related to hypothyroid myopathy. One of the patients developed acute renal failure. Thyroid hormone replacement therapy improved thyroid and renal function with involution of rhabdomyolysis. Hypothyroidism appears to be an authentic cause of rhabdomyolysis and should be carefully ruled out in all patients with elevated serum levels of muscle enzymes.
