A 52-year-old male presented to the emergency department complaining of muscle pain and weakness for the last two day. He also noticed that his urine is becoming dark (red to brown). The patient has no history of accidents or trauma and no symptoms of anemia. The patient is known to have history of hypertension, Type II diabetes, hypercholesterolemia, and ischemic heart disease. 5-weeks before he came to the emergency he had suffered a myocardial infarction. He was treated in the intensive care unit for two weeks. He recovered well and was discharged with his regular medications except that oral atorvastatin 40 mg/day was added. At that time doctors explained to him that it was becoming more difficult to control his cholesterol levels using dietary measures only, thus they added the new medicine. On examination his muscles were painful to pressure (tenderness). He has no jaundice or abnormal skin coloration. He has no signs of anemia. The blood testing results including blood cell counts, hemoglobin levels, and total bilirubin levels are all normal. Kidney function tests and urine analysis were ordered and the treating doctor is awaiting results.
