Have seen more than one horse with CPK's over 200,000.  Many live to tell 
about it, with no apparent kidney damage.  (And since those I've dealt with 
have had clinical signs of tying up, I DO believe it came from the muscle.)  
"Impossible" is one of those words that doesn't belong in science...  Odds 
against is a better approach.
