Creatine kinase>1200U/L is generally considered to be related to myocardial injury, skeletal muscle injury, etc. Myocardial injury caused by acute myocardial infarction, viral myocarditis, etc. is usually more serious, and requires timely treatment; elevated creatine kinase caused by skeletal muscle injury is usually not a critical condition, but the cause still needs to be clarified as soon as possible.
1. Myocardial injury: such as acute myocardial infarction can lead to increased creatine kinase, which is very dangerous and may jeopardize the patient’s life, and needs to be combined with the three cardiac infarction, coronary angiography and other tests to clarify. Viral myocarditis leads to myocardial inflammatory response, myocardial damage creatine kinase increase, generally more serious, need timely treatment.
2. Skeletal muscle injury: muscle strain, the injured muscle cells will release a large amount of creatine kinase, so there may be creatine kinase >1200U/L, but simple muscle injury is generally not enough to jeopardize life, but still to the hospital for further examination to find out the cause of muscle injury.
Creatine kinase is favored in the heart and muscle tissue to maintain normal heart and muscle function. The normal range for creatine kinase is usually 25-200 U/L, and when blood creatine kinase >1200 U/L, suggests higher, there may be damage to the heart and muscles.
If the patient creatine kinase >1200U/L, it is recommended to go to the hospital in a timely manner to clarify the cause and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
