CPK Levels and MS
Can MS cause elevated CPK levels?
MS is an autoimune Disease. The nerves that run through or around muscle can be affected. I was just told I hav elevated CPK. The took me off my cholestrol meds and will retest in 4 wks. But still can have a connection.
MS does not usually cause elevated CPK levels. CPK levels are elevated in the presence of muscle inflammation and / or muscle disease. Myositis is an example of a muscle inflammatory disease. Also, Myasthenia Gravis is another.
MS is a disease of the Central Nervous System (brain and spinal cord).
Do you have elevated CPK levels?
