Is there a test for rhabdomyolysis?
- Q: Is there a test for rhabdomyolysis?
- A: The most reliable test in the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis is the level of creatine kinase (CK) in the blood. This enzyme is released by damaged muscle, and levels above 5 times the upper limit of normal indicate rhabdomyolysis. A urinalysis can also be used to look for urinary casts, tiny tube-shaped particles made up of white blood cells, red blood cells, or kidney cells, or hemoglobin in the urine. Lori Poulin, PharmD
