Table 2. Progression in regard to creatinine (mg/dl) and CPK levels.
CPK: creatinine phosphokinase levels.
Muscle strength was graded in accordance with the medical research council (MRC grading) as following: 1 - slight flicker movements scene in the muscle group; 2 - muscle contraction present but with gravity eliminated; 3 - muscle contraction present and contracts against gravity; 4 - muscle contraction present against some resistance; 5 - normal and strong muscle contraction.
