Serum Muscle Enzymes - the blood can be tested to look for abnormal values of these substances, which are produced when muscle has been damaged.
Urinary Electrolyte Testing - Can be used to detect electrolyte abnormalities, which can predispose to the disease and it can also be used to monitor management and treatment.
Urinary Testing - like the blood, the urine can be tested for products associated with the breakdown of muscle tissue.
Muscle biopsy - this involves a small sample of muscle which is removed under local anaesthesia and sedation and examined under the microscope for abnormalities.
Yeah, I got it off the web.

do bear in mind EPSM show similar signs to tying up but won't show up on blood tests, the only way is a muscle biopsy! I had mine sent to the states for testing
