Shruti Gupta, director of onconephrology, explains, "Rhabdo is a syndrome where muscle cells break down and enter the bloodstream, which causes damage to multiple organs, particularly the kidneys." This emphasizes the severe effects rhabdomyolysis can have on bodily functions.
Gupta also notes, "The sense is probably that some of them might have really, really, really high levels of this creatine kinase, and that in turn signifies more intense muscle damage." This highlights the critical signs of organ damage in rhabdo cases.
Gupta comments on the unusual nature of the situation, stating, "One has to suspect that potentially, there is some serious organ damage that may have occurred." This raises awareness of potential complications in young athletes.
