Abstract
Ecstasy (MDMA) is widely used within the dance scene of the 1990s. In this article the growing trend of ecstasy usage among teenagers is considered, in particular, one of its potentially devastating side-effects, rhabdomyolysis. From consideration of the pathophysiology of rhabdomyolysis and its role in the development of acute renal failure, it becomes apparent that preventative measures and prompt treatment can prevent patients developing acute renal failure as a consequence of rhabdomyolysis.
