So yesterday I was looking after this guy with rhabdo, who came in with a CK of 243,100 and I was wondering - what's the highest value you've seen? Not necessarily CK, any value.
An example, for example - I had a woman who had a glucose of 120.8mmol/L. I don't know how to translate that into the US scale, but the normal range is around 4 - 9 in a well-controlled diabetic.
Same patient, different admission - triglycerides 8.1 (0.0 - 2.0), cholesterol 22 (?
Highest K+? 7.6mmol/L (renal patient)
Urea - 48.6, creatinine 1.18!!! (same patient, normal levels in June this year)
Highest BP 310/145 (stroke patient)
Do we have any other contenders?
