  • 1. Univ. of Cincinnati, OH

Description

Technetium-99m diphosphonate was used to visualize the extent of alcohol-induced rhabdomyolysis and its resolution. Transient secondary hyperparathyroidism was documented. Histological and biochemical analyses of skeletal muscle obtained at biopsy 6 days postscan and 9 days after the onset of the illness did not show abnormal calcium content
