These traces were produced by a time-domain reflectometer made from common lab equipment connected to approximately 100 feet (30 m) of coaxial cable having a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. The propagation velocity of this cable is approximately 66 % of the speed of light in a vacuum.
Metabolic problems such as hypothyroidism (low thyroid hormone), diabetic ketoacidosis (build-up of ketones in the body), and electrolyte imbalances can also trigger rhabdomyolysis. Other genetic disorders that can lead to rhabdomyolysis include: 1  carnitine deficiency. 2  McArdleâs disease. 3  lactate dehydrogenase deficiency.
If your body is not producing insulin, ketone bodies will begin to build up in your bloodstream. This buildup of ketone can produce a life-threatening condition known as ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis caused by the consumption of alcohol is known as alcoholic ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis can also develop in patients who have diabetes. This condition is known as diabetic ketoacidosis, or DKA.
