Rhabdomyolysis-induced acute kidney injury after administration of a red yeast rice supplement: A case report

Figure 1 Timeline of the patient’s medical history. RYR: Red yeast rice; mCRPC: Metastatic castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Figure 2 Magnetic resonance examination. A: Sagittal T1 weighted image showing homogeneously intermediate-to-uneven slightly higher signal intensities involving erector spinae (green arrows); B: Sagittal T2 weighted image showing diffusely increased signal intensities involving erector spinae (yellow arrows); C: Sagittal fat-suppressed T2 weighted image demonstrating diffuse involvement of erector spinae (red arrows); D: Axial fat-suppressed T2 weighted image demonstrating symmetrical incomplete involvement of erector spinae on both sides and patchy signal enhancement (red arrows).

Figure 3 Changes in levels of creatine kinase, lactate dehydrogenase, and serum creatinine during hospitalization. A: Creatine kinase decreased constantly after hemodialysis and hemoperfusion; B: Lactate dehydrogenase decreased constantly after hemodialysis and hemoperfusion; C: Serum creatinine decreased constantly after hemodialysis and hemoperfusion but fluctuated prior to discharge. CK: Creatine kinase; LDH: Lactate dehydrogenase.
