How is Rhabdomyolysis Diagnosed in Cancer Patients?
Diagnosis typically involves blood tests to measure levels of creatine kinase (CK), an enzyme released into the blood when muscle tissue is damaged. Elevated CK levels are a hallmark of rhabdomyolysis. Urinalysis can also reveal the presence of myoglobin. Imaging studies and muscle biopsies may be used in rare cases to assess the extent of muscle damage.
