The cause of creatine kinase elevation in muscular dystrophy patients after a cold may be related to the inflammatory response. When you catch a cold, the body creates an immune response that can lead to inflammation and damage to muscle cells, which allows creatine kinase to be released into the bloodstream.
However, this elevation may be more pronounced in patients with muscular dystrophy because of the damage to their muscles themselves. In addition, colds can also aggravate the patient's symptoms, such as muscle weakness and pain.
For patients with muscular dystrophy, it is important to put the relationship between colds and elevated creatine kinase in perspective. First and foremost, patients should seek medical attention promptly and follow their doctor's recommendations**.
At the same time, patients should also maintain good Xi habits, such as adequate sleep, appropriate exercise, balanced diet, etc., to enhance the body's immunity and reduce the occurrence of colds.
Secondly, when a patient has a cold, the doctor should be informed of his or her condition in time, so that the doctor can formulate a suitable plan according to the specific situation of the patient. In addition, patients should also pay attention to their physical condition, such as muscle weakness, pain and other symptoms aggravated, should seek medical attention in time.
Finally, patients should maintain a positive mindset and believe that they can beat the disease. At the same time, family and friends should also give adequate support and encouragement to help the patient through the difficult time.
