Malignant Hyperthermia and Idiopathic HyperCKemia
Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a rare but life-threatening condition that is more frequently encountered and discussed within the anesthesia literature. Here we through a case specifically discuss the susceptibility of individuals and/or families with asymptomatic unexplained elevations of creatine kinase (CK), also frequently referred to as hyperCKemia or idiopathic hyperCKemia (IHCK) in recen...
متن کاملMuscle biopsy and in vitro contracture test in subjects with idiopathic HyperCKemia.
BACKGROUND Persistent high creatine kinase (CK) levels may reflect underlying subclinical myopathies. In most cases, pathogenesis is unknown and clinical management is unclear. Though clinically asymptomatic, these subjects are potentially susceptible to malignant hyperthermia. METHODS The authors analyzed 37 subjects with persistent elevation of CK without significant weakness or other neuro...
متن کاملEFNS guidelines on the diagnostic approach to pauci- or asymptomatic hyperCKemia.
OBJECTIVE To provide evidence-based guidelines to general neurologists for the assessment of patients with pauci- or asymptomatic hyperCKemia. BACKGROUND Recent epidemiologic studies show that up to 20% of 'normal' individuals have an elevated creatine kinase activity in the serum (sCK). The possibility of a subclinical myopathy is often raised, and patients may be unnecessarily denied treatm...
متن کاملNeuromyelitis optica preceded by hyperCKemia and a possible association with coxsackie virus group A10 infection.
We report the case of a 48-year-old woman presenting with an elevated serum creatine kinase level (hyperCKemia) associated with an initial attack of neuromyelitis optica (NMO). The patient initially showed general fatigue with fever. Laboratory findings showed hyperCKemia and subsequently she developed a slight weakness of both lower limbs and reduced vision. Autoantibodies against aquaporin 4 ...
متن کاملClinical significance of markedly elevated serum creatine kinase levels in patients with acne on isotretinoin.
Muscle-related complaints and high creatine kinase (CK) blood levels have been reported in 16-51% of patients with acne treated with isotretinoin. It has been suggested that this retinoid and exercise have a synergistic effect on muscle. The presence of marked hyperCKemia during the treatment raises concern about rhabdomyolysis. The objective of this report was to evaluate the incidence, course...
