NoninflammatoryMyopathies
Drug-InducedMyopathies.Numerousdrugscanbedirectlytoxictothemuscles.Amongthemare
alcohol,glucocorticoids,interferons,amiodarone,antimalarialdrugs,andanti-HIVagents.Others,such
asdiuretics,cancauseweaknessbycausinghypokalemia.

StatinMyopathy.Statinsareamongthemostcommonlyprescribeddrugs,soitisimportanttounderstand
theirpotentialsideeffects.Thereareseveralwaysinwhichthesedrugscancausemyopathy.Wecan
organizetheseintofourdistinctclinicalscenarios:
1. Mild myalgias. This mildformof statin-induced muscle toxicity occurs in 10% to 20% of patients on statin therapy. Patients will
describemuscleachesandsoreness,buttherewillbenoobjectiveweaknessonexamination.CKcanbenormalormildlyelevated.It’s
not always necessary tostopthe statin, buttemporarydiscontinuation, especially inthe setting of moderate tosevere pain, is often
helpful.Manypatientscanthenrestartthesamedrugoradifferentstatinwithoutrecurrenceoftheirmyalgias.
2. Toxin-relatedmyopathy.Thisisthestatin-inducednoninflammatorymyopathy thattrulybelongsinthissectionofthebook.Patients
complain ofmild pain that’s associated with proximal muscle weak ness,distinguishing it from the more common clinicalscenario
above.TheCKiselevated.Patientscanalmostalwaysbesuccessfullymanagedbystoppingthedrugand eitherswitchingtoanother
statinorcontinuingthesameoneatalowerdoseorgivenlessfrequently(e.g.,twiceaweekinsteadofdaily).Improvementisusually
seenwithinafewweeksofstoppingtheinitialstatin.
3. Immune-mediated necrotizing myopathy.Rarely, statins cancause a type ofinflammatory myopathy,as mentionedin the section
above,thoughttobemediatedbyantibodiesagainstHMG-CoAreductase.Clinically,thiscanappearindistinguishablefromtoxin-related
myopathy,butunliketoxin-relatedmyopathy,symptomsdonotimprovewhenthestatinisstopped.Immunosuppressivetherapyisoften
necessary.
4. Rhabdomyolysis. Those very rare patients who develop signs of possible rhabdomyolysis (see Box 12.11 page 326) with severe
musclesymptoms,darkurine,andaserumCKmorethan10timesnormalmuststoptheirstatinimmediately;treatmenttopreventrenal

TohelpyoudistinguishbetweenDM1andDM2:
https://t.me/med1917

DM1 is the more severe form. Weakness is typically distal rather than proximal and
characteristicallyaffects thefacial muscles, intrinsic hand muscles, and footdorsiflexors, causing
footdrop.Ptosis,impairedextraocularmovements,dysphagia,anddysarthriaarecommon.
DM2 predominantly causes proximal weakness. Pain is more common, but cardiomyopathy and
endocrineabnormalitiesarerare.

compatiblewithlonglife.

is elevated evenat rest. Diagnosisrelies upon clinicalpresentation,familyhistory,laboratory abnormalities and, increasingly, genetic
testing.Treatmentvaries,butoftencentersondietmodificationandenzymereplacementtherapy.
2. Disorders of lipid metabolism. The most common of these are the result of various defects in the carnitine cycle, resulting in
abnormalfattyacid oxidation.Themostcommoniscarnitine palmitoyltransferaseII deficiency.Theinfantile formisrapidly fatal,
whereas the adult-onset form is less severe and presents with exercise intolerance and episodes of rhabdomyolysis. A high
carbohydratedietcanpreventsymptomaticattacks.
3. Mitochondrial myopathies. These disorders are due to mutations in mitochondrial DNA and can present with a wide range of
symptoms.Themyopathycanbeisolatedorcanbejustonecomponentofanillnessthatimpactsmultipleorgansystems.Themyopathy
