ck was 369 u/l, should i be concerned? ck-mb was 2.5 ng/ml. could it be als? no muscle weakness noted but twitching in arm.
all laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. having said that, any muscular activity will raise ck level. you may visit this site for information on this topic: https://www.mayomedicallaboratories.com/test-catalog/clinical+and+interpretive/8336 see more...
if the amount is very low. it is normal. dont worry no problems with that. it's quite normal Cholesterol is related to thyroid function with low thyroid function hypothyroidism giving high cholesterol and those with hyperfunction hyperthyrodism giving lowed cholesterol values.   

The TSH is elevated and abnormal indicating that free T4 and free T3 should be measured and if abnormally low and symptoms suggestive of hypothyroidism present then meds can be started. If they are still normal then the condition is called subclinical hypothyroidism.   

  

As to the bilirubin, I would repeat the bilirubin in a non-fasting state. Some people with Gilberts syndrome have elevations in total bilirubin and normal direct bilirubins upon fasting which aggravated the total bilirubin. I would also look at your CBC closely for indications of a hemolytic anemia which would also account for indirect bilirubinemia (total bilirubin) such as what happens with certain medications or conditions.   

  

The AST/ALT, you don't give the upper limit of normal and so generally the values are referenced with regards to how how many times normal they are out. Those are low level abnormalities that can be due to many causes including medications, alcohol, fatty liver, chronic hepatitis and other possibilities. Low levels are usually repeated several weeks later to see if they are still there after looking at things that may contribute to the liver elevations.   

  

All of this must be taken within a clinical context. That means that lab values can be be understood without a valid clinical history and physical. You state known and so the comments above are general in nature and would defer to the doctor for a clearer picture and understanding pertaining to your case. lily<br><br>thank you for visiting health24.com.<br><br>i recommend that you make an appointment with a cardiologist, to rule ischemic heart disease. you should also have a chest x-ray, a mammogram and an ultrasound of your breast done, to exclude any underlying causes.<br><br>kind regards<br><br><br><br><br>dr anrich burger grace, i would have it checked out if i were you. the least would be a physical examination and a chest x-ray. good luck. Hi Lydia,



If you feel pain or aches in your neck when you move your neck muscles, then the possible causes are:

Light massage on the neck can help Compress with warm water to relax your neck muscles Avoid excessive movement of neck muscles for a while Thus, hopefully it helps you looks like dermatographia. if this is your first time experiencing this, it's probably temporary. it could also be a allergic reaction to something on your hands after you scratched your arm but that would be a strange scratching pattern. give it a few days and if it doesn't stop, a doctors appointment couldn't hurt. probably a pulled muscle- go to the trainer. possibly a cracked scapula-ask the trainer then go to the doctor. Good evening, thanks for asking at HealthReplies.com. Complaints that you experience can be caused by various things, which among each symptom can be interrelated or not. Among the possibilities are:



 Pinched nerve disorders Infection or inflammation of the nerve lining Low blood pressure Spinal structural abnormalities Kidney stones This condition is most likely harmless, but it must be checked immediately because up to this point, the possibility is still very diverse, whereas the handling of each possibility can be different.

The handling that you will receive later depends on the results of this inspection.



Meanwhile, consume foods that are rich in B vitamins, limit physical activity, meet your fluid needs, and see your doctor immediately.
