By weight, the average russet potato is about 78.3 percent water. After water, starches and sugars compose the bulk of the potato's chemical content at about 18 percent. Non-digestible carbohydrates--or fiber--in the form of cellulose and pectin make up another 0.4 percent of the potato.
Wood replies: Traumatic rhabdomyolysis is often a result of natural disasters such as earthquakes where patients are crushed by debris. In settings with limited or no renal support such as renal dialysis, preventing renal failure in traumatic rhabdomyolysis is critical.
Rhabdomyolysis has a variety of causes. Many cases result from crush injuries to the muscles that can be seen in people who have been in vehicle accidents or have suffered other serious trauma. Heatstroke can cause rhabdomyolysis, as can a bite from some types of snakes whose venom causes severe muscle damage. Some medications and drugs may also lead to rhabdomyolysis. For example, cholesterol lowering statin medications have been linked to rhabdomyolysis, although this side effect is uncommon.
