Rhabdomyolysis (literally dissolution of striated muscle) is myonecrosis on a massive scale with leakage of myofiber contents, including myoglobin, CK, and other proteins into the circulation.Myonecrosis is caused by two basic mechanisms, mechanical physical injury and energy depletion.Failure of ATP-powered pumps allows influx of calcium into the myofiber. Calcium activates proteases and phospolipases, leading to disintegration of plasma membrane, contractile filaments, and other myofiber contents.yonecrosis is caused by two basic mechanisms, mechanical physical injury and energy depletion.
