[QUOTE="DavidGrahamJones, post: 1448035, member: 245335"] Rhabdomyolysis is a serious syndrome due to a direct or indirect muscle injury. It results from the death of muscle fibers and release of their contents into the [B]bloodstream[/B]. This can lead to serious complications such as renal ([B]kidney[/B]) failure. This means the kidneys cannot remove waste and concentrated urine. Bit worrying that they're checking for what must be a worst case scenario when it's the lack of CoQ10 that usually causes the muscle pain. I have read that in some cases statins have been behind serious muscle damage, but it's rare. My old GP used to send me for Creatine Kinase tests, an elevated level of creatine kinase is seen in heart attacks, when the heart muscle is damaged, or in conditions that produce damage to the skeletal muscles or brain. I had elevated levels which the GP use to call muscle inflammation. Might have to check that further. Fortunately I've had 3 troponin tests, the last 2 showing it wasn't my heart. I reckon it's my skeletal muscles AND my brain. not LOL. [/QUOTE]
