Average person here just learning about this.
What? What is this? What do I even search for?
Rhabdomyolysis. Basically, certain injuries can cause proteins from the damaged muscle tissue to break down and leak into the bloodstream. Those proteins then cause major damage to your kidneys, which are unable to process them. This can result in lifelong complications.
