Who specializes in rhabdomyolysis?

Rhabdomyolysis is typically managed by specialists in emergency medicine, nephrology, and critical care. Emergency medicine physicians are often the first to evaluate and treat patients presenting with this condition due to its acute nature. Nephrologists are involved when kidney involvement occurs, given the risk of acute kidney injury. Additionally, sports medicine physicians may also address rhabdomyolysis in athletes related to overexertion.
