It is a systemic disease associated with especially the skin, joints, gastrointestinal tract and renal involvement.

Elevated levels of creatine kinase is the biochemical marker of rhabdomyolysis. Causes such as systemic diseases, hereditary muscle enzyme deficiencies, drugs, trauma, seizures, infection, repeated injections, and intense exercise should be considered when creatine kinase is high. However, there are the cases that is absence of any cause.
