SUMMARY
1. Inflammatory myopathies: caused by chronic muscle inflammation. Causes: dermatomyositis, polymyositis, IBD.
2. Endocrine myopathy: proximal muscle weakness of varying degrees may be seen in patients with hyperthyroidism, acromegaly, severe vitamin D deficiency, and conditions of steroid excess.
3. Metabolic myopathy: consider in patients with muscle fatigue, pain, cramping, contractures and myoglobinuria exacerbated by exercise. Caused by disorders of carbohydrate, lipid metabolism or mtochondrial function.
4. Muscular dystrophy: genetic abnormalities. Duchenne muscular dystrophy: X-linked disorder that causes progressive muscle weakness, starting at 2yrs, and progressing to death as a young adult. Myotonic dystrophy consists of 2 types of inherited, adult-onset, neuromuscular disorders with systemic effects.
5. AlDS-related myopathy is uncommon and typically thought to be due to zidovudine (ZDV, AZT).
