Oh yes they will! Just finished up participation in a Marathon study. Lots of blood draws during training and following the marathon in Austin, TX (Feb 2009). They held all samples until the end of the study to run labs in batch. Just got an email from the study coordinator that I had an abnormal high reading. Had a draw the morning after completing a 20 miler (RunTex 20 Miler) and I peaked a 2220 level (200 is upper normal range). Rest of the study was in normal ranges with just the one peak reading. The 20 miler was especially hard on me as I wasn't feeling well the week before the event. And some additional reading on the subject that I found while researching. http://bmb.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/81-82/1/209 Creatine kinase monitoring in sport medicine Paola Brancaccio*,, Nicola Maffulli and Francesco Mario Limongelli British Medical Bulletin Advance Access originally published online on June 14, 2007

What else can I help you with?
What is the treatment for elevated creatine kinase?
Treatment for elevated creatine kinase levels depends on the underlying cause. If it is due to muscle injury or exercise, rest and hydration may help. In more serious cases, such as heart attack or muscle disease, treatment will focus on addressing the underlying condition.
Is Creatine Kinase 1610 normal?
No, a creatine kinase of 1610 is elevated. This single lab result does not tell you what exactly is wrong, however.
Which enzyme is responsible for the phosphorylation of creatine?
Creatine kinase is the enzyme responsible for the phosphorylation of creatine, converting it to phosphocreatine. This enzyme plays a key role in energy storage and transfer in muscle cells during high-intensity exercise.
When is creatine phosphate regenerated?
Creatine phosphate is regenerated during rest or low-intensity exercise when ATP levels are sufficient. During these periods, creatine kinase catalyzes the transfer of a phosphate group from ATP to creatine to regenerate creatine phosphate.
What is the chemical formula of creatine kinase?
Creatine Phosphate + ADP --> (Creatine Kinase) --> Creatine + ATP
What type of doctor treats creatine kinase?
treatment for creatine kinase
What is the icd9 code for elevated Creatine Kinase level?
790.5 Other Nonspecific Abnormal Serum Enzyme Levels
Does Creatine Kinase require fasting?
No, fasting is not required for testing Creatine Kinase levels. However, certain activities such as vigorous exercise should be avoided before the test as they can temporarily elevate CK levels.
Your creatine kinase is 55 Is this a good level?
my creatine Kinase is 152.....is that bad and what should i do
What is the purpose of a creatine kinase test?
Elevated levels indicate damage to either muscle or brain; possibly from a myocardial infarction (heart attack), muscle disease, or stroke.
Is Creatine kinase related to Dermatomyositis?
An increased level of creatine kinase in the blood suggests DM as a possible diagnosis
What caused creatine kinase to be elevate is have have none of the sympton that is associated with a high creatine kinase?
As you probably already know creatine kinase is an enzyme chiefly found in the brain, skeletal muscles, and heart due to some sort of damage.There are many different reasons for the elevated values and some may not cause damage that shows symptoms:heart attackstrokemuscle injurystatin use *surgeryrenal failureburnsmarathon runningcrush injuryUse of statins used for high cholesterol levels would show no symptoms but still produce the elevated levels.
