muscle damage
Injury from overexertion
Muscle damage is injury to muscle tissue, ranging from microscopic tears during intense exercise to severe trauma from accidents or disease.
The controlled damage from resistance training triggers repair processes that build stronger muscle.
More serious muscle damage—from crushing injuries, prolonged immobility, or certain medications—can release proteins that harm the kidneys.
