The symptoms of elevated Creatine Kinase (CK) levels can vary, but commonly include muscle-related issues and general fatigue.
According to the provided reference, common symptoms of elevated CK include:
- Muscle cramps
- Muscle aches
- Dark urine
- Feeling weak or tired
It's important to note that repeat testing might be necessary to monitor if CK levels are rising, as indicated in the reference from September 13, 2022.
While not directly a symptom, the reference also mentions that, in the context of heart issues, troponin tests are the primary method for diagnosing an initial heart attack. CK levels can be monitored, but troponin is the key indicator in that specific scenario.
