to check if some muscle has been damaged after heart attack surgery or injury
A high level of creatine kinase (CK) in a blood test can indicate muscle damage or injury. It could be due to strenuous exercise, muscle trauma, or certain medical conditions such as myositis or rhabdomyolysis. Further evaluation is needed to determine the underlying cause of the elevated CK levels.
CK means creatine kinase. It's a measure of muscle breakdown. Raised when you bruise or break something, but also in a heart attack
Yes!
my grandson is 18 months old and healthy but not walking or standing his ck levels are in 10000s
Blood level of the muscle enzyme creatine kinase (CK). CK levels rise in the blood due to muscle damage, and may be seen in some conditions even before symptoms appear. Muscle biopsy

How is it used? Blood levels of CK rise when muscle or heart cells are injured. Your doctor may test for CK if you have chest pain or other signs and symptoms of a heart attack. In the first 4 to 6 hours after a heart attack, the concentration of CK in blood begins to rise. It reaches its highest level in 18 to 24 hours and returns to normal within 2 to 3 days. The amount of CK in blood also rises when skeletal muscles are damaged. When is it ordered? In patients who may have had a heart attack, the CK test will usually be ordered when they arrive at the emergency room and again at intervals of 4-6 hours for a total of three tests. If you have muscle pain or weakness, your doctor may order CK to see if other muscles have been damaged. What does the test result mean? A high CK, or one that goes up from the first to the second or later samples, generally indicates that there has been some damage to the heart or other muscles. It can also indicate that your muscles have experienced heavy use. If your doctor suspects a heart attack and your CK is high, she will usually order a more specific test (troponin ) to see if your heart is damaged.
A total CK (creatine kinase) level of 992 U/L is considered elevated, indicating potential muscle damage or stress. Normal CK levels typically range from about 38 to 174 U/L, but this can vary by laboratory. Elevated CK levels can result from various conditions, including muscle injury, intense exercise, or underlying health issues such as rhabdomyolysis or myocardial infarction. It's important to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and diagnosis based on the individual's clinical context.

The tubes used for cardiac enzyme blood draws are typically red or tiger-topped tubes, which contain a clot activator and a gel separator. These tubes are used for testing cardiac enzymes like troponin, creatine kinase (CK), and CK-MB levels.
