CK is an enzyme found primarily in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Normal levels indicate no significant muscle damage. Birds naturally have higher CK than mammals due to their active metabolism.
Low CK in birds is uncommon and generally not clinically significant. It may be associated with reduced muscle mass or cachexia.
Your veterinarian will correlate this with your bird's body condition and activity level.
Avian CK: 80 U/L (Low)CK is an enzyme found primarily in skeletal and cardiac muscle. Normal levels indicate no significant muscle damage. Birds naturally have higher CK than mammals due to their active metabolism.
No action needed.
Avian CK: 300 U/LHigh CK indicates muscle damage or stress. Common causes include capture myopathy (exertional muscle damage from restraint), trauma, seizures, or intramuscular injections. Very high levels can indicate noticeable muscle necrosis.
Minimize handling stress and ensure proper restraint techniques. Your veterinarian may recommend rest and supportive care. If CK remains high, further investigation for underlying myopathy is warranted.
