Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
What Causes Increased Creatine Phosphokinase Level And Elevated Heartbeat?
My 2yr old son is being evaluated for Autism Spectrum disorder. He had a panel of genetic testing done and his CPK level is 393. The neuro doc says she would like it between 2-160. He now has a fever of 100.1 and his heart is beating faster than normal. Should I be concerned?
All these things (marginal high CPK and elevated heart rate) can happen during a febrile illness. Re-check it after 1 week of settling fever. It should normalize by the. Otherwise we can evaluate further.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
