Abstract

A 29yrs old patient was presented for the difficulty in walking and muscle weakness with difficulty, particularly in vigorous physical activities. The patient had experienced frequent falls and admitted in hospital given with symptomatic treatment. The patient's creatinine kinase was 2290 Iu/L, liver enzymes also abnormal. The Mechanism through which levels of liver enzymes become abnormal in patients with MD still unknown. Since serum CK is markedly elevated with a breakdown of muscle and is considered a diagnostic marker of muscular dystrophy's. Duchenne muscular dystrophy is an X linked recessive progressive myopathy, with an incidence of about 1 in 3500 male live birthday was described by french neurologist Benjamin in 1860's active physiotherapy and other supportive therapies hold the key to successful management of these cases.
