Acute rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney disease due to butane inhalation

Inhalation of aliphatic hydrocarbons such as butane can induce neurological and cardiac symptoms. Rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure are rarely reported. We presented a case of a patient who developed an acute rhabdomyolysis and renal failure caused by accidental prolonged inhalation of butane. Gradually, the patient recovered a correct renal function.
