Creatinine-phosphate-kinase is an enzyme found in heart and muscle. Normal blood CPK range is 38-174 units/L
just borderline but normal
myocardial infarction
A normal creatine phosphokinase (CPK) level is anywhere from 10 to 120 micrograms per liter (mg/L). CPK is released when a muscle is damaged and can show whether a person has had a heart attack.
about £4.00
if it 1000 iu then it indicate heart trouble or muscles problem.
12.0 - 14.5
Cpk = Cp (Process Capability) + p (katayori) Japanese for deviation. Cpk = Deviation of process capability
cpk enzymes are found in cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and the brain, cpk will be elevated 10 to 25 times the normal level following a myocardial infarction, they will also be elevated after a trauma to skeletal muscle and in progressive muscular dystrophy, cpk can be elevated after strenuous exercise.
CPK means creatine phosphokinase. It's sometimes abbreviated CK. CPK testing is often used to evaluate chest pain.
Cp is the capability of a process and Cpk is the actual capability of a part running in the process. The only way Cp = Cpk is if the process mean is exactly centered which is seldom the case in manufacturing. Therefore, Cp > or = to Cpk.
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.
