In summary, renal injury with high serum CPK values becomes a true concern when levels of CPK reach 5,000 IU/L and the patient has serious co-morbid disease such as volume depletion, sepsis or acidosis. Otherwise, values of up to 20,000 IU/L may be tolerated without untoward event.
What is considered a high CK level?
The upper normal limit for men is anywhere from 200 to 395 U/L (3.4 – 6.8 ukat/L) and for women, it’s up to 207 U/L (3.52 ukat/L) [3, 4, 5]. CK levels are around 70% higher in healthy African Americans, compared to people of European descent!
