Biomarkers, Creatine Kinase, and Kidney Function of Special Operation Candidates During Intense Physiological Training.

CONCLUSIONS: In our low-powered case control study (pilot study), a nonpathologic elevation of CK is prevalent in high-intensity military training, but not shown to correlate with values associated with acute kidney injury. We assume that real-time collection of these markers could be used once sensors are capable of real-time collection and have the potential for diagnostic affordance. When measured in a between subjects design, our study showed a lack of significance when correlating markers of acute renal injury and elevation of CK. However, when utilized for tracking purposes (within subjects design), the results do show a positive correlation between CK and renal failure biomarkers-specifically only at high physiological stress points.
