Brief Answer:
Elevated CPK is not related to stoppage of exercise.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX

Elevated CPK or CK is not related to stoppage of exercise.It may be due to some other reasons.It need proper evaluation.

Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or CK(creatine kinase) is an enzyme found mainly in the heart,brain and skeletal muscle.
There are three different forms of creatine kinase:CK-MM (located in the skeletal muscles and heart),CK-MB (mainly located in the heart) and CK-BB (located in the brain).

Trauma can cause an elevated creatine kinase level.It may also be used to detect conditions like polymyositis (inflammation of muscles) or to asses the degree of muscle damage.

Stroke and other forms of brain damage can also cause an elevated creatine kinase level.

Exact cause of ADH deficiency is not known.Decreased ADH level leads to diabetes insipidus.
