A member asked:

Is creatine kinase always elevated in rhabdo from statins ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

If you do indeed have true rhabdomyolysis, your CK will always be quite elevated as will be urinary myoglobin. But statin myopathies may be associated with mild weakness and minimal changes in muscle enzymes, early on.
