Malignant hyperthermia

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!
