 Elevated concentrations of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH ) may be detected . Other markers of muscle damage , such as <unk> , <unk> , carbonic anhydrase type 3 and fatty acid @-@ binding protein ( <unk> ) , are mainly used in chronic muscle diseases . The transaminases , enzymes abundant in both liver and muscle tissue , are also usually increased ; this can lead to the condition being confused with acute liver injury , at least in the early stages . The incidence of actual acute liver injury is 25 % in people with non @-@ traumatic rhabdomyolysis ; the mechanism for this is uncertain .
