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.
Unfortunately, the body cannot release all the ketones and they build up in your blood, which can lead to ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is life-threatening and needs immediate treatment. Symptoms include: 1  Shortness of breath. 2  Breath that smells fruity. 3  Nausea and vomiting. 4  Very dry mouth.
