Question 1

my blood test just showed high muscle enzymes. my doc says its cuz i started working out. is this a possible effect ? all orher tests are normal

Accepted Answer

Maybe: Modest elevations of the CPK can occur after a vigorous work out. I would suggest stopping workouts for 3-4 days and then rechecking the lab work.

Question 2

what blood test checks for pancreatic enzymes?

Accepted Answer

Blood test: Is lipase and amylase. Usually only a problem when significantly elevated as in pancreatitis.

Question 3

what to do if i recently had a blood test and it showed up an enzyme in my liver. what would cause this?

Accepted Answer

Not enough info: What was the specific enzyme that was elevated and how elevated was it? Without this info, your question cannot be answered.

Question 4

what enzymes can be checked with a blood test?

Accepted Answer

Blood Testing: The most common labs are the metabolic panel which measures lots of electrolytes and the liver enzymes and kidney functions. And, there is also the cbc...The complete blood cell counts.  Those two combined are the most common screening tests done during most visits that include labs.

Question 5

what blood test to be get done for muscles pains during excercise?

Accepted Answer

Creatine Kinase: Drink lots of fluids before, during, and after exercise.  Also always stretch before and after exercising. If the muscle pain persists beyond 1 week, see your GP for eval and tests.

Question 6

i had a blood test this morning and have pain in my muscle above and below the site?

Accepted Answer

Hot compress/see Dr,: I don't know what you got your blood test for but it seems like they did not do a good job.  The artery and/or nerve may be damaged during blood drawing.  The vein might be damaged also, and if heavy lifting or strenuous activity is done too soon, there might be aggravation of the site.  So, put a hot towel/compress on it, and see your dr./hosp soon if it does not improve.

Question 7

continued awful symptoms after very recent  gallbladder removal. blood test shows high enzymes. mrcp planned,  i'm very worried, what do you think?

Accepted Answer

Retained stone: Rarely even after gb surgery would be concerned about retained stone or some other liver condition.

Question 8

i had lactate dehydrogenase blood test and the levels came back a little bit low under the normal range, abs i have symptoms in my muscles throughout my body, could this mean anything or be related?

Accepted Answer

: an LDH slightly below normal is not related to your diffuse muscle discomfort.  I would look elsewhere for your muscle achy ness. I more appropriate test would be a CPK  test

Question 9

what enzymes does a general blood test check?

Accepted Answer

See below: What do you mean by a general blood test? Of the commonly used tests, only liver enzymes, ALT and AST are generally included in a panel.

Question 10

if i take a liver enzyme blood test, will it detect alcohol i drank?

Accepted Answer

No: If you want to know the level of alcohol , then your doctor have to order blood alcohol level specifically.  The liver enzyme test will not tell you alcohol level. However, alcohol certainly will affect your liver function. If you have been drinking a lot for many years, alcohol can lead into liver cirrhosis and risk for liver failure and  liver cancer.
