Yes. Creatine phosphokinase or creatine kinase are the same enzyme released from the brain, skeletal muscle and heart when stressed or damaged. The abbreviations are interchangeable.
The tube for CPK (creatine phosphokinase) isoenzymes is typically red or gold, depending on the laboratory.
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.
Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is typically collected in a red-top tube for serum or a green-top tube for plasma.
A lavender or purple top tube is typically used to collect a CPK (Creatine Phosphokinase) blood test.
The CPK color convention for test tubes typically assigns carbon with the color black, oxygen with red, and nitrogen with blue.
CPK means creatine phosphokinase. It's sometimes abbreviated CK. CPK testing is often used to evaluate chest pain.

what is cpk. How is it increased by crestor? what is crestor? CPK, also known as CK and Creatine phosphokinase, is more formally called Creatine Kinase. This is a test performed to determine whether or not the individual has had a heart attack. Higher levels of CK indicate injured muscles or heart cells. Very heavy exercise, excessive drinking, injury to person via car accident or fall or etc., and drugs that lower cholesterol can all increase the level of CK in the blood. CK levels can be increased by drugs such as Crestor because it damages muscle. Crestor is a cholesterol-lowering medication or statin.
Cpk = Cp (Process Capability) + p (katayori) Japanese for deviation. Cpk = Deviation of process capability
