title = "Rhabdomyolysis and AKI with Atorvastatin and Sitagliptin Use in the Setting of Low 25-Hydroxyvitamin D Levels",
abstract = "We report a case of an 86-year-old woman admitted to the hospital with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury 3 weeks after starting sitagliptin while on long-term atorvastatin therapy. She also had low levels of 25-hydroxyvitamin D and mild chronic kidney disease, which may have contributed to the development of rhabdomyolysis. A review of the literature reveals four previous reports of this drug interaction in elderly patients, some with underlying kidney disease.",
