What is CPK chemistry blood test?
CPK is an enzyme called creatine kinase. It is mostly found in the heart, brain and muscle tissues. When there is trauma or damage to those tissues the enzyme is released into the bloodstream where it shows up as an elevated CPK on bloodwork. CPK is often elevated after a heavy workout or any type of crushing injury. The CPK is often elevated soon after a heart attack. Some muscle degenerating diseases also can be detected by a constantly high CPK level. It is up to your physician to determine the significance of the result. CPK can further be broken down into specific sub-enzymes called iso-enzymes. One is heart specific, one is muscle specific and so on. So if a CPK level is elevated and the cause is not known, testing for iso-enzymes can indicate what body tissue the CPK is coming from.
