Context: This is a very slightly high ck level. I'd doubt it means anything; ask your doctor. A lab value means nothing apart from the patient history and physical exam. High levels may mean anything from your being in the middle of a heart attack (it's an old-fashioned assay replaced by troponin) to having exercised heavily to having rhabdomyolysis from a statin to a host of other entities.
