Diagnosis and Management of Rhabdomyolysis in the Absence of Creatine Phosphokinase: A Medical Record Review.
CONCLUSIONS: We propose a threshold concentration of AST that has an excellent sensitivity for detecting CPK concentration ≥5,000 U/L on day of admission in a patient population with a diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis. A formula with a fair ability to predict CPK levels based on AST concentrations on subsequent hospital days was also developed.
