Answer 1

If it was just a CK, it could mean you have a bruise somewhere.  The test measures breakdown in muscle tissue.  People after a car accident often have much, much higher CK's.  But what did the doctor say?  I hope you asked him.

Answer 2

Blood tests do not specify the " type " of CK ( Creatine kinase ), also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or phosphocreatine kinasealso, but only indicate the level of CK. Normal values of CK are usually between 25 and 195 U/L.

In a blood test result of CK level, being over the normal, it will only suggest the following :

- Injury

- Rhabdomyolysis

- Myocardial infarction

- Muscular dystrophy

- Myositis

- Myocarditis

- Malignant hyperthermia

- Neuroleptic malignant syndrome

- McLeod syndrome

- Hypothyroidism

Further examinations will be needed to conclude any of the above stated possible diagnostics.

Wishing You A Good Health !
