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 (CK-MB) is a form of an enzyme found primarily in heart muscle cells. This test measures CK-MB in the blood. CK-MB is one of three forms (isoenzymes) of the enzyme creatine kinase (CK). These isoenzymes include: ...
CK-MB is a form of creatine kinase; it is found mostly in the heart muscle. Levels of CK-MB rise after a patient has sustained damage to the heart muscle. Why is the test used? The test is used primarily to check if a patient has had a heart attack; levels of CK-MB increase if...
Numbers in parentheses are percentages of isoenzymes to total CK activity (100%). CK, creatine kinase; EDL, extensor digitorum longus; ND, none detected. a Significant difference between EDL and soleus (P < .001). b Significant difference between EDL and diaphragm (P < .001). ...
In muscle and nerve, most of the creatine is phosphorylated to phosphocreatine (pCr) in a reaction that is catalyzed by the enezyme creatine kinase (CK), there are three isoforms of (isoenzymes) of CK. CK-MM is the skeletal muscle isoform; CK-BB, the brain isoform, and CK-MB, the ...
Creatine kinase monitoring in sport medicine Areas of general agreement: Total creatine kinase (CK) levels depend on age, gender, race, muscle mass, physical activity and climatic condition. High leve... B Paola,M Nicola,LF Mario - 《British Medical Bulletin》 被引量: 1038发表: 2007年 Intrac...
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...
In order to distinguish true positive elevations (secondary to myocardial injury) from the false positive elevations (due to skeletal muscle injury), the measurement of CK-MB as a percentage of total CK has been used to calculate relative index. A CK-MB to CK ratio of > 6% is reported to...
The effects of 15 minute periods of coronary artery occlusion on plasma creatine kinase (CK) and CK-MB isoenzyme activity, regional myocardial function and subsequent myocardial necrosis were studied in six conscious baboons 2 to 3 weeks after recovery from instrumentation. Mid left anterior descending...
Lipitor, Concor, Aspimed, Coversil etc etc. The funniest part is/was that my cholesterol levels were all normal. However, almost a year of taking the statin (lipitor), my good cholesterol has dropped below the normal low level. Also, the level of creatine kinase (CK) has shot up to ...
