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.
Ketoacidosis is a metabolic state associated with high concentrations of ketone bodies, formed by the breakdown of fatty acids and the deamination of amino acids.The two common ketones produced in humans are acetoacetic acid and Î²-hydroxybutyrate.etoacidosis can be smelled on a person's breath. This is due to acetone, a direct byproduct of the spontaneous decomposition of acetoacetic acid. It is often described as smelling like fruit or nail polish remover.
