McArdle disease (glycogen storage disease type 5): High CEA and CK

Hello @janicejuly51 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I think it is very aware of you to try to make connections. I was able to find another discussion that mentions possible diagnosis of glycogen storage disease that I thought may be helpful: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/attacks-of-repeated-belching-pain-sweating-and-dizziness/

Have you ever been given reason to think they may all be connected by a doctor or are you just adding things up and wondering if you may be onto something?

Doctor Haller has retired he was my McAardles doctor. . I was trying to find a reason my CEA is going up.

Janice, may I ask why your CK and CEA levels were investigated? When will you be discussing the elevated levels with the doctor who ordered the tests?

My CK will always be high because of the McArdles. The CEA is tested every 3 months because I had colon cancer. They both measure the protein in my blood. Today I talked to a PA not my oncologist. My oncologist is on maternity leave. Because of the lack of information about McArdles they don't know if there is a correlation.

There has got to be a doctor out there that knows if the protein from Ck and protein from CEA can affect each other.

Hi Janice, Mayo Clinic Connect is a network connecting patients with one another. Have you consulted your doctor to discuss the relationship between CK and CEA levels?
