Creatine Kinase near me in Gurgaon

The increased levels of creatine kinase can be seen in case of inherited myopathies, such as muscular dystrophy, trauma, burns, electrocution, and compression muscle injuries. Hormonal disorders such as thyroid disorders, Addison’s disease, or Cushing disease and can also increase the levels of creatine kinase in the body. These increased levels can also be the result of strenuous exercise, prolonged surgeries, seizures, viral infections, bacterial infections, parasitic infections, fungal infections, connective tissue disorders such as lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, celiac disease, renal disease, thrombosis. Along with that, the levels of creatine kinase may increase if there is any effect on the production of muscle energy or there is an increase in requirement of energy with the use any medicine.

The rapid breakdown of muscle tissue is known as rhabdomyolysis. It occurs when there is serious physical, chemical, or biological injury to muscles. It may happen due to trauma, crushing injuries, high voltage electrical shock, serious burns, thrombosis, and toxins (e.g., heavy metals, snake venom, and carbon monoxide). Other reasons which can cause rhabdomyolysis include infections, inherited genetic and metabolic disorders affecting muscle, and muscular dystrophy. Conditions like uncontrolled diabetes, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and drug abuse can equally be a reason for developing rhabdomyolysis.
