Previous studies have reported low serum creatine kinase (s-CK) levels as a poor prognostic factor in various cancers. However, there have been no reports on its significance in hepatocellular carcinoma. The present study aimed to evaluate the association of the preoperative s-CK leve...
Creatine kinase-MB elevation after coronary intervention correlates with diffuse atherosclerosis, and low-to-medium level elevation has a benign clinical course - improved procedural outcome with evolution of technique and equipment. Single-center results of first 1000 patients Authors: Kini, A.; Mar...
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 ...
et al. In primary total hip arthroplasty, the direct anterior approach leads to higher levels of creatine kinase and lower levels of C-reactive protein compared to the posterolateral approach: a propensity score matching analysis of short-term follow-up data. J Orthop Surg Res 18, 594 (2023)...
low levels in normal individuals, however it can be detected in someone with a heart attack about 3–6 hours after the onset of acute chest pain, with a peak at 12–24 hours and then return to normal at about 48–72 hours. Creatine kinase and CK-MB have also been investigated ...
To assess the prognostic significance of a low peak creatine kinase (CK) level, 723 consecutive patients admitted with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) within 16 hours after onset of symptoms were studied. Thrombolytic therapy was not attempted during the study. Patients were dichotomized according ...
Creatine Kinase Creatine kinase(CK) is anenzymefound mostly in muscle but also seen in the heart and brain. This has been described initially in the evaluation of cardiac disease but is now also strongly associated with muscle diseases.13The enzyme level is not directly tested but a measurement...
Intra-assay Precision (Precision within an assay): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Creatine Kinase, Mitochondrial 2, Sarcomeric (CKMT2) were tested 20 times on one plate, respectively. Inter-assay Precision (Precision between assays): 3 samples with low, middle and high level Crea...
Changes in creatine kinase and its isoenzymes in human fetal muscle during development The total creatine kinase activity and its isoenzyme patterns were investigated in the skeletal muscle of 87 fetuses, of which 80 were presumed normal, 5 were anencephalic and 2 were "at risk" for Duchenne ...
Creatine kinase activity in serum rises rapidly in conditions such as acute myocardial infarction and trauma to skeletal muscle. However, the interpretation of such increases is dependent upon a sound knowledge of the factors which influence both the total and isoenzyme activities. The nature of ...
