Mild myalgia and taking crestor, a statin. creatine kinase level was 252. slightly elevated. it did jump from 165 when previously checked. alt is stable at 119. it has been this high for three months now. concerning ?

Crestor, being hydrophilic,has a much less tendency to cause myalgia& raise CPK. Unless there are other causes for your elevated ALT, like hepatitis or fatty liver, there is concern that Crestor is the culprit. Many clinicians would keep you on the Crestor& keep closely following the ALT. However,at your age I wouldn't as I think the benefit isn't worth the risk. But your MD knows you the best!
