What Does An Abnormal Muscle Enzyme Show?
My father in law went to ER today with chest heaviness and arm/leg tingling, fatigue and sweating. 2 of the 3 enzymes were normal. The last enzyme ( I believe the one related to the muscle) was well over 500 with normal being under 170..... what does this enzyme show? He is 56, 275 lbs and diabetic. He also has 2 stents that were placed 2 years ago.
