I was actually talking about the Lipitor, but you've clarified that very nicely for me. He'll be having blood tests done next week so I'll ask his GP to add a CK level to the list.

will also show elevation for heart attacks. We call it CPK here.
It will also elevate during a mito attack in patients with mito disorders.
Anyone with elevated CPK should NEVER take statins.
It the rhabdo becomes severe, the byproducts of the muscle breakdown destroy the kidneys and may result in death if severe. Statins also cause liver damage in sensitive patients.
