REPEAT TEST: This is only slightly elevated and should not be taken seriously unless a repeat test is at least that high. It may be caused by exercise. It may also be elevated after injury, bleeding, burns, infections, kidney disease, heart attack, hemolytic anemia, or loss of the spleen. It will go up after using epinephrine, heparin, isotretinoin. You could go on. So consult your Dr.
