Creatine kinase (CK), also known as creatine phosphokinase (CPK) or phosphocreatine kinase, is an enzyme (EC 2.7.3.2) expressed by various tissues and cell types. CK catalyses the conversion of creatine and uses adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to create phosphocreatine (PCr) and adenosine diphosphate (ADP).
Macro-creatine kinase (macro-CK) is a macroenzyme, an enzyme of high molecular weight and prolonged half-life found in human serum. [1] It is one of the most common macroenzymes. [1] Macro-CK type 1 is a complex formed by one of the creatine kinase isoenzyme types, typically CK-BB, and antibodies; typically IgG, sometimes IgA, rarely IgM.
Creatine (/ ˈ k r iː ə t iː n / or / ˈ k r iː ə t ɪ n /) [1] is an organic compound with the nominal formula (H 2 N)(HN)CN(CH 3)CH 2 CO 2 H.It exists in various tautomers in solutions (among which are neutral form and various zwitterionic forms).
Tadalafil has a half-life of 17.5 hours — it remains active in your body for far longer than other ED medications. ... Increased creatine kinase (CK) levels. Dizziness. Back pain.
Test Sensitivity and specificity Approximate peak Description Troponin test: The most sensitive and specific test for myocardial damage. Because it has increased specificity compared with CK-MB, troponin is composed of 3 proteins- Troponin C, Cardic troponin I, and Cardiac troponin T. Troponin I especially has a high affinity for myocardial injury.

The CPK-MB test (creatine phosphokinase-MB), also known as CK-MB test, is a cardiac marker [3] used to assist diagnoses of an acute myocardial infarction, myocardial ischemia, or myocarditis. It measures the blood level of CK-MB (creatine kinase myocardial band), the bound combination of two variants (isoenzymes CKM and CKB ) of the enzyme ...
Severe weakness of the proximal muscles (shoulders, upper arms, thighs) on both sides of the body, very high blood levels of the enzyme creatine kinase (CK) being released by broken down skeletal muscle, and persistent symptoms and CK elevation despite stopping the offending statin medication are the hallmarks of SAAM.
