Let's review River's lab results to figure out what may be wrong:

Test
    

River’s Results

Blood Tests
    

CK Very High

Creatine High

Calcium Low

Vitamin D Normal

Urine
    

Myoglobin Present

Low Urine Output

Step 1

You perform additional research to interpret these results while River is being treated.
1a) What are CK, Creatine, and Myoglobin?

CK (Creatine Kinase): An enzyme found in skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and brain.

1b) What are the functions of those molecules?

• CK (Creatine Kinase):l;.

• Myoglobin acts as an oxygen buffer, facilitates oxygen diffusion, and may catalyze reactions

1c) What condition does River have?

CK Very high resulting  possible muscle damage .

Creatine High-Elevated CK and myoglobin suggest muscle injury, possibly due to rhabdomyolysis.

Calcium Low

1d) How do the results relate to that condition?

 Myoglobin is a protein released from damaged muscle cells, and its presence may contribute to kidney dysfunction, leading to reduced urine production .
