What Causes Elevated Blood Serum Levels?
So I recently visited a neurologist for elevated CK. My previous blood serum level was 900 and now elevated to 1200. We will recheck in 3 months to see if it has increased. I have psoriatic arthriits and have used Humira. I have used Exforge and currently use amlodipine and losartan. Could the hypertention drugs be the cause of my rhabdomyolysis? d

Hi,
Usually, CK is elevated in Afro-Americans persons.
Next, both Humira and Exforge (Losartan as its component) can cause rhabdomyolysis in rare cases.
So, another treatment strategy should be discussed with your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
