He experienced multiple hospitalizations due to elevated creatine kinase (CK) levels (up to 9000 U/L, reference range: 30-200 U/L). With no other medical explanation found, physicians suspected clozapine-induced ADRs. However, plasma levels of clozapine were consistently low or ...
Creatine kinase is measured typically in IUs (international units) per liter, and the range is immense: A normal level can be as low as 80 in male athletes and 45 in female athletes to 1,000 in male athletes and 500 in female athletes. And, of course, it generally goes up and down ...
The meaning of CREATINE KINASE is any of three isoenzymes found especially in vertebrate skeletal and myocardial muscle that catalyze the transfer of a high-energy phosphate group from phosphocreatine to ADP with the formation of ATP and creatine.
Association between minor elevations of creatine kinase-MB level and mortality in patients with acute coronary syndromes without ST-... Intracellular compartmentation, structure and function of creatine kinase isoenzymes in tissues with high and fluctuating energy dem... ...

The Creatine Kinase/Phosphocreatine Circuit or Shuttle One fundamental requirement of life is energy supply. Cellular energy demand and supply are balanced, and tightly regulated for economy and efficiency of energy use. CK is a major enzyme of higher eukaryotes that copes with high and fluctuating ...
If the total CK level is high but the levels of CK-MB are low, this usually indicates that another muscle has been injured, while a high ratio of CK-MB: total CK indicates that the heart has been damaged. If the doctor suspects that both the heart and other muscle cells have been ...
Creatine kinase (CK) level fell and dropped to 403 IU/L on day 13 (normal level: 15-300) and by day 15 it was within the normal range. Olanzapine-induced neuroleptic malignant syndrome Creatine kinase concentration was largely higher 72h after exercise in the control group (ES = 3.61; CI...
Muscle creatine kinase (MCK) is induced to high levels during skeletal muscle differentiation. We have examined the upstream regulatory elements of the mouse MCK gene which specify its activation during myogenesis in culture. Fusion genes containing up to 3,300 nucleotides (nt) of MCK 5' flanking...
Sir: In spinal muscular atrophies, hypertrophy of the calves' 4 and an increase of serum creatine kinase (CK) activity2 3 6 have been found. We report an asymptomatic 33 year old man, with only hypertrophy of the calves and high blood level of CK. Further investigations indicate that the...
