Creatinine Kinase test is used to measure the amount of creatine kinase (CK) in the blood. CK is an enzyme found primarily in the brain, skeletal muscles, and heart. A CK test is usually done in case of muscle weakness and muscle aches. It may also aid in diagnosing a heart attack. Also, a CK test may be advised if a person experiences dark-colored urine for a longer duration of time. High CK levels can indicate recent muscle damage. Significant increase in CK levels may depend on the severity of muscle damage. Moderately increased CK levels may be due to strenuous exercises such as weight lifting or long exercise sessions.
It is one of the three isoenzymes of creatine kinase, with the others being CK-MM found in skeletal muscle and CK-BB found in the brain and other tissues.
The CK-MB test measures the levels of CK-MB in the blood. It is primarily used as a diagnostic tool to assess the damage or injury to the heart muscle, especially in cases of suspected myocardial infarction (heart attack).
When a heart attack occurs, the cardiac muscle tissue is damaged, and CK-MB is released into the bloodstream. By measuring the levels of CK-MB, healthcare providers can determine if there has been damage to the heart and evaluate its extent.
The CK-MB test is often performed in conjunction with other cardiac biomarkers, such as troponin, to provide a comprehensive assessment of cardiac health. Elevated levels of CK-MB in the blood, accompanied by symptoms such as chest pain, shortness of breath, or changes in an electrocardiogram, can indicate acute coronary syndrome or a recent heart attack.
It is important to note that CK-MB levels typically rise within a few hours after the onset of a heart attack and peak around 24 to 48 hours. They then return to normal levels within a few days. Monitoring CK-MB levels over time can help healthcare providers assess the progression of a heart attack or evaluate the effectiveness of treatment.
The CK-MB test is a valuable tool in diagnosing and monitoring heart conditions. However, it is essential to interpret the results in conjunction with the patient's clinical presentation, medical history,
