Malignant hyperthermia
From WikiLectures
Malignant hyperthermia is an AD hereditary disease in which the calcium metabolism of the muscle cell is disturbed . In predisposed individuals, upon contact with triggers, an uncontrollable muscle contraction occurs, leading to a hypermetabolic reaction of the organism. The amount of CO2, lactate, heat increases. Severe rhabdomyolysis and multi-organ failure and death may occur. The triggering moment can be stress or general anesthesia!
