Introduction: Serum Creatinine Kinase (CK) is a non-specific marker of muscle damage. There has been limited investigation of the association between peripheral neuropathy and CK elevation (hyperCKemia). Methods: We performed a chart review to investigate the CK level in peripheral neuropathies. Dem...
It could also aid understanding of how acute alcohol intoxication influences the breakdown of adolescents' muscle tissue.What is Known: Alcohol, alongside pharmaceutical agents and illicit drugs, is a significant cause of rhabdomyolysis (increase in creatinine kinase > fivefold the upper limit of ...
who visited Henan Children’s Hospital between 2014 and 2022. Eligible patients were defined by elevated blood propionylcarnitine (C3) levels (> 3.5 μmol/L), the C3/acetylcarnitine (C3/C2) ratio (> 0.2 μmol/L), and urinary methylmalonic acid levels (> 3.6 mmol/mmol creatinine). ...
BP = blood pressure; BPM = beats per minute; BUN = blood urea nitrogen; CHD = coronary heart disease; CrCl = creatinine clearance; CVD = cardiovascular disease; HDL = high-density lipoprotein; LDL = low-density lipoprotein; MI = myocardial infarction; NT-proBNP = N-terminal pro-B-type na...
Information from the ER visit on patient sex, weight and height (when available) along with results from routine laboratory tests e.g., blood count, D-dimer, C-reactive protein (CRP), creatinine, international normalized ratio (INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (aPTT) were ...
Ketone bodies and creatinine were significantly increased, blood glucose was normal, while serum triglyceride, cholesterol and non-esterified fatty acid levels were reduced. Under fasting conditions only small differences of metabolite levels were observed (Figure S3B–D). Consistent with this metabolite...
ventricular free wall. He is given thrombolytic therapy with tissue plasminogen activator (tPA) 3 hours after the onset of chest pain. However his serum creatinine kinase is found to be 450 U/L (elevated) 3 hours after this therapy. Which of the following cellular events has most likely ...
Overnight fasting venous blood samples were collected on the second day morning of admission and sent to the clinical laboratory center of our hospital within 1 h for further analyses of FPG, HbA1c, serum creatinine (SCr) and lipid profiles including triglyceride, total cholesterol (TC), high ...

Moreover, using a linear regression this study found that a higher blood alcohol concentration was associated with higher creatinine kinase levels, when adjusted for positive drug screenings amongst the adolescents with acute alcohol intoxication (p=0.027; 尾=66.88; 95% CI 7.68-126.08). Conclusions...
