Abstract
Three cases of rhabdomyolysis secondary to hypopotassaemia caused respectively by excess liquorice intake, the use of a nasal spray containing fluoroprednisolone acetate and a kidney tubular condition identified as distal tubular acidosis (ATR) are described. The aetiology of each case is discussed with a description of the clinical course and laboratory tests and particular emphasis on variations in the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system.
