High creatine kinase

Hi, I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with a elevated creatine kinase due to the medication used to combat RCC? My CK levels have averaged 600+ and as high as 2300. They have checked my heart and brain and everything is fine. Just trying to see if it is connected to RCC or another issue altogether. Thanks for any assistance. My Doctors are trying to find a cause for it but?

Normal range is 22 to 198 U/L (units per liter)

Crud, I forgot to post that I have been OFF RCC meds since February of this year. I did not know if the meds had a residual effect on the body.
