It is widely described in the literature that rhabdomyolysis can potentially cause acute renal failure, and that repeated episodes of hemoglobinuria-hematuria (paroxysmal hemoglobinuria and IgA glomerulopathy) can generate progressive renal damage and consequently chronic renal disease. In this report we describe a chronic renal failure that due to its clinical context and way of installation, it strongly suggests the possibilityof the existence of a mechanism of chronic renal damage (causal or concausal) secondary to repeated episodes of rhabdomyolysis.
