May not signal AKI risk despite high CK in exertional rhabdomyolysis; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
Case Report (n=1)
Exertional rhabdomyolysis can present with markedly elevated creatine kinase levels (>90,000 U/L) without progressing to acute kidney injury.
Berry (2014) conducted a case report in Exertional rhabdomyolysis (n=1). Intense upper body workout was evaluated on Creatine kinase elevation and acute kidney injury. A 28-year-old male developed exertional rhabdomyolysis with a markedly elevated peak creatine kinase of 97,472 U/L following a new workout routine, notably without developing acute kidney injury.
