CK (creatine kinase) is a muscle enzyme. Normal levels indicate no significant muscle damage.
Low CK is not clinically significant in horses.
No action needed.
Equine CK: 80 U/L (Low)CK (creatine kinase) is a muscle enzyme. Normal levels indicate no significant muscle damage.
No action needed.
Equine CK: 200 U/LVery high CK indicates active muscle damage (rhabdomyolysis or tying up). In horses, this is commonly seen after intense exercise, polysaccharide storage myopathy (PSSM), recurrent exertional rhabdomyolysis (RER), or following prolonged recumbency. CK peaks 4-6 hours after muscle injury and declines with a half-life of about 6 hours.
Immediate rest is essential. Your veterinarian will evaluate for underlying muscle disorders and may recommend bloodwork and possibly a muscle biopsy. Ensure access to fresh water and electrolytes.
