==Creatine Phosphokinase==
*Can be elevated in trauma, [[rhabdomyolysis]], hyperthermia, physical activity, renal or endocrine disease, systemic infections
*If patient small with small muscle mass to begin with, total ck may not be elevated- so better to use CK index- is ratio of CKMB/ total CK. Elevated if > 3- 5%.
*CK Mass: with monoclonal antibody techniques, can directly measure ck mb mass as mmcg/L. More sensitive for detection of AMI
*CK-MB can be removed from the routine ED cardiac panel without adversely affecting patient care<ref>Le RD, Kosowsky JM, Landman AB, et al. Clinical and financial impact of removing creatine kinase-MB from the routine testing menu in the emergency setting. Am J Emerg Med. 2015;33(1):72–5. </ref>
