- Myoglobinuria in adults is caused most commonly by trauma, alcohol and drug abuse, usually in relation to muscle necrosis from prolonged immobilization and pressure by the body weight. Protracted consumption of alcohol, seizure activity or vigorous physical activity, can also lead to a disequilibrium between muscle energy consumption and production, resulting in muscle destruction. [1] [2]
- Myoglobinuria in children and adolescents, is caused most commonly by viral myositis, trauma, exertion, drug overdose, seizures, metabolic disorders, and connective tissue diseases.[3]
