Hypothyroid myopathy (HM) is a clinical feature of muscle lesions secondary to hypothyroidism. With an insidious onset, HM is likely to be missed diagnosis or misdiagnosed in clinical practice. In this article, the diagnosis and treatment of one case of acute kidney injury caused by HM complicated with rhabdomyolysis were reported. The patient was diagnosed with acute kidney injury due to orbital edema. During the course of the disease, the patient developed fatigue in both lower limbs, whereas electromyography (EMG) revealed no obvious abnormality. The patient had a history of hypothyroidism. The muscle enzyme level was increased during the detection of rhabdomyolysis. After thyroid hormone treatment was given, the muscle enzyme level was decreased, and the disease condition was relieved. The patient was eventually diagnosed with HM. The diagnosis and treatment of this case prompt that it is necessary to be vigilant for patients with hypothyroidism, especially elderly patients, to deliver corresponding treatment in a timely manner, which is essential to avoid potential complications of HM patients.
