Subject: RE: HYPOTHYROIDISM AND CK
We have had a case exactly like this, where the CK normalised once thyroxine
replacement was started, and has not recurred since. Was it really the
thyroxine that did the trick? I'm not sure, but the GP thought it was
wonderful!
Best wishes

Subject: HYPOTHYROIDISM AND CK
54 year old lady with muscle aches and pains. On dothiepin. CK = 2 x ULN.
Inflammatory markers normal. Normal AST. TSH = 7.0 / fT4 = 11.2 ie
'subclinical' hypothyroidism. Is this degree of thyroid underactivity
'enough' to account for elevation of CK or do you only encounter elevated
CK in gross hypothyroidism?
Many thanks
