Type Interval (hours) Peak Elevation (hours) Return to Normal

Creatine Phosphokinase

  • can be elevated in trauma, rhabdo, hyperthermia, physical activity, renal or endocrine dz, 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
