What Is McArdle Disease?
8. Complications
McArdle disease is not usually a dangerous condition, even if it can have a considerable negative impact on the patient’s life. The condition can usually be managed to help limit the severity of the symptoms, and also to help prevent serious complications arising.
Complications will occur in some cases, however, once being rhabdomyolysis. Rhabdomyolysis is a condition where the patient’s skeletal muscle is being broken down too quickly for the byproducts to be processed. It can put a lot of strain on the patient’s kidneys, and it will cause kidney failure in some cases. Patients are advised to manage exercise carefully to help prevent rhabdomyolysis from occurring.
