elevated CK levels

by beeboy, Sep 27, 2007 04:42PM
My boyfriend is a 26 year old healthy male who repeatedly has high Ck levels. All attempts to diagnose him have so far been futile. He has had Ck levels as high as 3000 U/L. He  exhibits no symptoms relating to heart disease or muscular dystrophy, and has since had a battery of tests, all of which are normal.He takes no drugs and does not drink alcohol. What are the possible causes of this elevated CK level?

i am also a healthy male, 41, with elevated CK levels, though not as high as 3000 -- i think mine are around 1100-1200, and my doc has no idea why.  have you found any explanations?

I'm also 25 years old and received results that My CK level was 6875U/L. I have not been able to get any answers either since there are no symptoms and I feel in perfect shape. Since I weight lift I was asked if I took any supplements and (Creatine). The only thing I use is Protein shakes. I would love to know more about this since all my reaserch did not give me clear answers.
