A member asked:
What would be some reasons for elevated sed and cpk along with low iron count? should i be concerned?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: If "low iron count" is a pop term for anemia (low hemoglobin / hematocrit) and/or serum iron itself is low, this is always worrisome and your physician must either continue working you up or give you an explanation and suggested treatment. If you are having muscle pain, an elevated CPK would confirm but not prove a clinical impression of a myositis / rhabdomyolysis & lead to workup.
