Will the CPK level elevate after being placed in restraints?
Yes, the CPK level can elevate after being placed in restraints.
Restraints can cause muscle damage, which can lead to an elevation in CPK levels. CPK is a muscle enzyme that is released into the bloodstream when muscle cells are damaged. When a person is placed in restraints, the pressure from the restraints can cause muscle fibers to tear, leading to an increase in CPK levels. Additionally, the stress of being restrained can also cause an increase in CPK levels.
