The presentations of rhabdomyolysis can vary considerably, however, causing other symptoms like fever, nausea and vomiting.
The initial presentations, which can be non-specific, include:

- Soft tissue swelling
- Skin changes consistent with pressure necrosis
- Hyperthermia, hypothermia and electrical injury
