Recently extreme increases in serum creatine-kinase (CK) concentration after initial whole-body electromyostimulation (WB-EMS) were reported that indicating a severe (exertional) rhabdomyolysis. Thus our aim was (1) to verify the reported WB-EMS induced CK-increases, (2) to determine the ...
A second patient had an elevated creatine kinase level after a seizure but continued taking the study drug, and creatine kinase levels returned to normal during therapy. The number of clinical events in this 24-month trial was too small for any meaningful analysis of the relationship between ...
In healthy infants, the serum activity of heart- and muscle-specific fractions of creatine kinase increased after birth, reached a plateau between 12 and 48 hr, and then declined, whereas the serum CK-BB decreased rapidly after birth and remained stable between 6 hr and 15 days. Compared to...
11 MI was defined based on clinical symptoms, electrocardiographic changes, or abnormal findings during imaging studies, combined with an increase in the creatine kinase myocardial band fraction above the upper normal limit or an increase in the troponin-T or troponin-I level greater than the ...
This study aimed to investigate the prognostic value of high-sensitivity creatine kinase-myocardial band or fraction (hsCK-MB) in comparison with other well-established biomarkers including heart type-fatty acid binding protein (H-FABP) and N-terminal pr
liver dysfunction with ≥2.5× the upper limit of normal (ULN) level for alanine aminotransferase, aspartate aminotransferase or alkaline phosphatase, or total bilirubin ≥3.0 mg/dl; creatinine clearance <30 ml/min or serum creatinine >2.0 mg/dl; and serum creatine kinase >3× the ULN....
Acute MI was diagnosed when creatine kinase-MB levels increased to at least 2 times the upper limit of normal or when troponin T levels were >0.1 ng/mL [11]. The diagnoses of MI and uAP were confirmed by coronary angiography. Decompensated heart failure was defined as resting dyspnea with ...
300. Creatine kinase: An independent risk factor for high blood pressure during pregnancyThis is the protocol for a review and there is no abstract. The objectives are as follows: Primary objectives of this review are: to investigate and summarize whether thromboprophylactic measures are effective ...
Elevations in aspartate aminotransferase/alanine aminotransferase levels greater than 3 times the upper limit of normal were uncommon, and creatine kinase elevations greater than 5 times the upper limit of normal were rare among treatment groups. During the 12-week treatment period, positively ...
Second, we did not evaluate muscle damage biomarkers such as creatine kinase (CK), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), aspartate aminotransferase (ASAT) and alanine aminotransferase (ALAT), nor inflammation biomarkers (such as C-reactive protein CRP). Future studies may consider additional measurements of ...
