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[1]
