I used to have high CPK. I wonder if such an increase could be related with increases in GOT and GPT. Would it imply that my body doesn't adapt to the exercise? Maybe the internal medicine doctor was right thinking I have my body under a kind of overtraining since many months or years ago. Indeed, that woud be a good answer and i'd prefer that reason than a liver problem.
I would be very greatful to hear new connotations about this
Nice to meet you, overseas cycling partners;

CPK comes from three different sources, brain, heart muscle and skeletal muscle. You would have to get CPK isoenzymes run to differentiate where the elevated CPK is coming from but it is common to see elevated CPK in somebody that has been doing heavy exercise. If you continue to have elevated liver enzymes you will need further testing to rule out liver disease. You will probably need an MRI and/or a liver biopsy. There are many different kinds of hepatitis. You may have only been tested for hepatitis B. You can also have hepatitis and still test negative for it. There is a window of time where the test is negative while you are in the begining stages. Hopefully there is nothing wrong. Good luck.
