Abstract
The study aimed to determine the SLCO1B1 gene polymorphism in 2 cases of acute rhabdomyolysis related to statin use. This is a case series study of acute rhabdomyolysis associated with statin use and direct sequencing of the SLCO1B1 gene. The study collected 2 cases of acute rhabdomyolysis while using statins, 1 case of severe rhabdomyolysis causing acute kidney injury in patients with homozygous polymorphisms related to simvastatin, and 1 case of rhabdomyolysis had mild rhabdomyolysis with a heterozygous polymorphism associated with rosuvastatin use. Individuals with the homozygous genotype for the SLCO1B1 polymorphism experienced severe rhabdomyolysis when using simvastatin. Meanwhile, in the remaining individual using rosuvastatin with the heterozygous polymorphic gene SLCO1B1, there was a mild complication of rhabdomyolysis.
