Technetium-99m diphosphonate was used to visualize the extent of alcohol-induced rhabdomyolysis and its resolution. Transient secondary hyperparathyroidism was documented. Histological and biochemical analyses of skeletal muscle obtained at biopsy 6 days postscan and 9 days after the onset of the illness did not show abnormal calcium content.

Acute-on-chronic liver failure is a syndrome associated with a high short-term mortality rate. Severe systemic inflammation and single- and multiple-organ failure are a hallmark of this syndrome, with pro-inflammatory precipitating events occurring in the liver or extrahepatic regions. We report a case of a 69-year-old man with a previous diagnosis of alcohol-induced liver cirrhosis who presented with a poorly defined, erythematous-purplish, and edematous plaque with multiple hemorrhagic blisters over the left leg, one day after receiving a spider bite.

Article Synopsis
- This study investigates how acute alcohol intoxication impacts creatinine kinase levels in adolescents under 18, using data from a Dutch hospital from 2008 to 2021.
- Out of 495 adolescents treated for alcohol intoxication, 60% had elevated creatinine kinase levels, and 4.4% were diagnosed with rhabdomyolysis.
- The findings indicate that higher blood alcohol concentrations correlate with increased creatinine kinase levels, highlighting the need for awareness regarding alcohol's effects on muscle tissue in young individuals.

Non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis induced by alcohol appears to cause serious clinical implications and could result in catastrophic consequences. We describe a patient who developed rhabdomyolysis following acute alcohol intoxication which led to severe kidney injury requiring dialysis therapy. This case also illuminates the fact that deranged liver function can result from a significant skeletal muscle injury in the absence of a concomitant liver pathology.
