Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Introduction: Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis is frequently a multifactorial pathology, influenced by predisposing elements directly related to the patient, the surgical process, and drugs. A rare case of multifactorial postsurgical RML is presented in an elderly male patient, considered as risk factors, who required RRT and therefore, it increased hospitalization´s days. Purpose: Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis is frequently a multifactorial pathology, influenced by predisposing elements directly related to the patient, the surgical process, and drugs. A rare case of multifactorial postsurgical RML is presented in an elderly male patient, considered as risk factors, who required RRT and therefore, it increased hospitalization´s days. Case presentation: Masculine of 32 years with prior history of HIV infection undergoing treatment with tenofovir, emtricitabine and efavirenz, along with Kaposi’s sarcoma with skin involvement who presents at the emergency department with oedematous syndrome and neck lymph node enlargement. Multicentric Castleman disease was diagnosed upon clinical, biochemical, and histopathological findings. The patient did not present with stigmata of autoimmune disease and had a presenting serum creatinine of 3.04 mg/dl (baseline serum creatinine of 0.88 mg/dl). Other laboratory investigations included an urinalysis with microscopic haematuria and proteinuria, a renal and urinary tract ultrasound without gross alterations and a 24-hour urine recollection with 16.5 grams of proteinuria. He also had hypoalbuminemia (1.6 g/dl). Altogether, criteria for nephrotic syndrome were fulfilled. We also found normal serum complement, serum protein electrophoresis with polyclonal hypergammaglobulinemia and an autoimmune panel with low positive (1 in 80 dilutions) antinuclear antibodies with cytoplasmatic pattern along with proteinase-3 positive antibodies. Myeloperoxidase antibodies were negative. Upon these results we obtained a kidney biopsy compatible with membranous glomerulonephritis, with immunofluorescence compatible with a full-house pattern. A diagnosis of membranous nephropathy with lupus-like pattern Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis is frequently a multifactorial pathology, influenced by predisposing elements directly related to the patient, the surgical process, and drugs. A rare case of multifactorial postsurgical RML is presented in an elderly male patient, considered as risk factors, who required RRT and therefore, it increased hospitalization´s days. Discussion and conclusion: Post-surgical rhabdomyolysis is frequently a multifactorial pathology, influenced by predisposing elements directly related to the patient, the surgical process, and drugs. A rare case of multifactorial postsurgical RML is presented in an elderly male patient, considered as risk factors, who required RRT and therefore, it increased hospitalization´s days.
