Question 1

what does a creatine kinase of 137 mean?

Accepted Answer

Ck: By itself  a lab test has little meaning. Tests are ordered and interpreted in the context of the individual patient extrapolating from study data obtained from similar patients. If no such data is available, interpreting the study value is speculative.

Question 2

what are the symptoms of high creatine kinase?

Accepted Answer

CK: There are no specific symptoms of elevated ck. If the elevation is true and not a lab error, there usually is muscle damage associated and discomfort related to the involved muscle would be the symptom.

Question 3

how to reduce my creatine kinase what can i eat ?

Accepted Answer

Start over: How high? Why was it checked? But no it's generally not a dietary issue.

Question 4

what does a creatine kinase level of 322 indicate?

Accepted Answer

Muscle injury: Ck level of 322 is elevated but not too high. Elevated levels of ck indicate muscle injury, however strenous physical activity will raise ck levels, especially if activity is done prior to blood draw.  Some medications and alcohol can casue ck elevation.

Question 5

what could cause an elevated creatine kinase test?

Accepted Answer

Muscle injury: Creatinine kinase is released from injured or dead muscle cells, be those skeletal, cardiac of smooth muscle cells.  Renal failure is also associtated with modestly elevated levels.

Question 6

should i be worried about my creatine kinase level?

Accepted Answer

What is the level?: Elevated creatinine kinase level indicated muscle injury.  If it is elevated, please consult your doctor to determine the cause and determination of the need for a treatment and the proper treatment.

Question 7

my creatine kinase level is 465 what does that indicate?

Accepted Answer

Depends: What was the test done to check?  Was it done because of muscle tram or to check for a heart attack?  We need more information.

Question 8

what does it mena to have an elevated total creatine kinase?

Accepted Answer

CPK: Ck is a polycomponent muscle enzyme. The ck mb is the muscle-brain part of ck total. That is why the lower value for mb. The lab normals would tell whether these are elevated or not. Elevations are usually from muscle damage and the mb is found in heart.

Question 9

my level of creatine kinase is 49, is this level low. and what does it mean?

Accepted Answer

Probably normal: Creatine kinase (CK), also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme made by muscle tissues, including the heart muscle.  Doctors most often are concerned with high levels of CK, which may indicate muscle damage.  "Normal range" varies by laboratory, but a level of 49 is probably within the normal range of most laboratories.

Question 10

my creatine kinase levels were at 56 , is this a good reading , what does this mean?

Accepted Answer

Ck: With no clinical information it has little meaning.
