WebSerum creatine kinase activity in 200 patients was studied in order to check whether this determination might be of help in differential diagnosis between primary and secondary (neurogenic) myopathies. Elevated CK values are found physiologically in children, pregnant women, and after exercise. WebA diagnosis of polymyositis should be considered for patients presenting with no skin symptoms and four of the following criteria: Symmetrical muscle weakness in the shoulders/upper arms or hips/upper legs and trunk. Elevation of serum levels of skeletal muscle-associated enzymes: CK, aldolase, lactate dehydrogenase (LD or LDH), …

WebHigher levels of serum CK can indicate muscle damage from chronic disease or acute muscle injury. In myositis, it is not uncommon for CK levels to far exceed the upper limit of normal. If the CK test indicates muscle damage, more tests will be needed to find exactly where the muscle damage occurred. WebCauses of an Elevated Creatine Kinase Reference range (York and Scarborough Hospitals): 40-320 IU/L (males); 25-200 IU/L (females).
