Researchers witnessed lower levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), an indicator of muscle injury, in the blood. Red and white blood cell count, serum electrolytes, creatinine, C-reactive protein, creatine phosphokinase and troponin-T were normal, lactate-dehydrogenase was 335 U/L (normal: <248) and INR was 2.
