Creatine Phosphokinase

-can be elevated in trauma, rhabdo, hyperthermia, physical activity, renal or endocrine dz, systemic infections

-if pt 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

Troponins

-during contraction of muscle- thick filaments of myosin slide past thin filaments of actin by calcium mediated atp dependent contraction. Released calcium binds to troponin C, T, and I, which regulate muscle contraction.

-troponins not change in trauma, skeletal muscle dz, exercise, renal failure like ck does.

-troponin C found in all tissue and is not cardiac marker

-troponin T is qualitative assay.

-troponin I is quantitative assay.
