Diabetes mellitus1.00E−11In any diabetic condition, a failure to maintain healthy muscle is often observed and is termed diabetic myopathyPMID: 24391596
Rhabdomyolysis<1.00E−15Rhabdomyolysis is a severe form of myopathyPMID: 25991405
Creatine phosphokinase increased7.00E−11Increased dosage of cyclosporine induces myopathy with increased serum creatine kinase in an elderly patient on chronic statin therapyPMID: 25512016
Neuropathy<1.00E−15Critically ill patients may develop muscle weakness or paralysis such as neuropathy during the course of sepsis and multiple organ failurePMID: 15758592
