Hello, my baby was checked by the doctor yesterday and his creatine kinase level was high, so he needs to be hospitalized.

Patient's question:

No

Doctor's answer:

Creatine kinase (CK) elevation is primarily considered clinically for muscle and myocardial lesions.
1. Acute myocardial infarction: CK can serve as one of the sensitive indicators for the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
2. Myocarditis: CK levels rise significantly.
3. Muscle diseases: Such as polymyositis, rhabdomyolysis, progressive muscular dystrophy, etc.
It is recommended to complete relevant examinations such as electrocardiogram (ECG), electromyogram (EMG), electrolytes, and CK isoenzymes to identify the cause and receive timely treatment.
