Rhabdomyolysis (RM) due to hypothyroidism is known, but acute kidney injury (AKI) due to hypothyroidism related RM is rare and potentially life-threatening. In our first case, a 80-year-old man presented with RM and AKI. He was diagnosed as severe hypothyroidism related RM and AKI. Second case was a 27-year-old woman presented with drug(combination of flurbiprofen/ thiocolchicoside and amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid) related RM and severe AKI. When we analyze the literature in detail, there are published cases of RM-AKI associated with hypothyroidism. In addition, there was no knowledge of the flurbiprofen/ thiocolchicoside and amoxicillin/ clavulanic acid associated RM and AKI. In patients presenting with RM and AKI, physicians should consider hypothyroidism and drug use.
