You had Rhabdomyolysis, probably from a muscle injury, usually a crush injury

Untreated it will lead to renal failure and cardiac arrest from hyperkalemia.

Treatment is basically ensuring maximum hydration so the kidneys will continue to clear the breakdown products. As long as you are making urine you will be OK.

Note that CK is a market of muscle tissue breakdown and not the same thing as Creatinine (the marker for kidney function).

The question of whether your Acute Kidney Injury (AKI) will lead to permanent damage depends on the extent of the initial injury. Ask your internal medicine or nephrology doctor what they think. Since you did not require dialysis, I suspect your prognosis is very good.
