Why is this test important?

What is rhabdomyolysis, and how is CK related?

Rhabdomyolysis is a serious condition where muscle fibers break down and release CK into the bloodstream. High CK levels can be an early indicator of this condition.

What can affect my test results?

Strenuous exercise, muscle injuries, medications (like statins), and certain medical conditions can temporarily elevate CK levels.

Why do athletes monitor CK levels?

If your CK levels are high, it may indicate muscle stress or damage. You can use this information to adjust your exercise routine, monitor for medical conditions, or discuss with your healthcare provider.

Tracking CK levels helps athletes gauge muscle recovery, avoid overtraining, and optimize performance.
