Key Clinical Message Hypothyroidism was a rare cause of rhabdomyolysis, which finally progressed to acute kidney injury ( AKI ). We compared nine patients with AKI secondary to hypothyroidism and six patients with severe hypothyroidism. Besides creatine kinase, globulin could be an alternative biomarker of rhabdomyolysis related to hypothyroidism.
