61+ booked in last 3 daysCPK Test Overview
Creatinine Phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme that is found in the skeletal muscles, heart muscles and brain. In case of a muscle injury, this enzyme leaks from the muscle into the blood. CPK test is a blood test that measures the level of CPK in the blood. CPK is an important cardiac injury marker in case of a heart attack.
Overview
An enzyme called creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) is present in the brain, heart muscles, and skeletal muscles. When muscles or tissues deteriorate or get damaged, this enzyme escapes from the muscles into the blood. This is due to your body's ongoing process of renewing and replacing dead cells. Tissue damage may occur as a result of a heart attack, stroke, or brain injury. Thus monitoring CPK levels help diagnose conditions related to tissue damage. A CPK Total Serum test monitors CPK levels. Here is all you need to know about a CPK Total Serum test.
CPK total serum determines the amount of creatine phosphokinase (also known as creatine kinase) levels in the blood. In the event of a heart attack, CPK is a crucial sign of cardiac damage. Doctors would typically schedule a CPK blood test to determine the degree of muscle damage in the heart. However, arduous activity and joint inflammation can also cause CPK levels to be greater than normal. Also, if a patient has hypothyroidism, takes statin for a long period, or has an autoimmune illness, increased CPK levels in a blood test may be detected.
