Traumatic rhabdomyolysis: rare but morbid, potentially lethal, and inconsistently monitored.

Whilst TR appears rare without liberal screening, it is strongly associated with AKI. Given the poor outcomes, standardised monitoring, and liberal testing of CK could be justified in trauma patients with higher injury severity. This epidemiological data can help to define study populations and power future multicentre prospective studies on this infrequent yet morbid condition.
