Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I would like to tell you that in a healthy young adult normal value of serum creatine kinase is 22 to 198 U/L. An increase in serum CK level in your son's case can be either any skeletal muscle injury or intense workout.
Treatment for underlying cause is important otherwise he has to face serious complications. It's recommended for him to consult a Physician personally for further management and limit his workout.
I hope this information will answer your query.
Kind Regards
Dr. Bhanu Partap
