Condition of muscle depicted in photograph above represents rhabdomyolysis which is found in Hyperphosphatemia.
Rhabdomyolysis is a serious syndrome due to a direct or indirect muscle injury. It results from the death of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the bloodstream. This can lead to serious complications such as renal failure.
This means the kidneys cannot remove waste and concentrated urine. In rare cases, rhabdomyolysis can even cause death.
