Creatine Phosphokinase or Creatine Kinase It is a six-letter protein to help skeletal muscle. The normal values varies from 10-15 IU/L. The activity of this enzyme is found to be elevated to all degrees of muscular dystrophies. Serum CPK-2 activity also increases in patients with acute myocardial infarctions. CPK-2 in plasma is virtually specific for infarction in myocardial infarction. Estimation of CPK-2 is also diagnostic in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction within 24 hrs of acute myocardial infarction. Cardiac Enzymes It is a six-letter protein to help skeletal muscle. The normal values varies from 10-15 IU/L. The activity of this enzyme is found to be elevated to all degrees of muscular dystrophies. Serum CPK-2 activity also increases in patients with acute myocardial infarctions. CPK-2 in plasma is virtually specific for infarction in myocardial infarction. Estimation of CPK-2 is also diagnostic in patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction within 24 hrs of acute myocardial infarction. Serum Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) It is widely distributed in heart, muscle, and liver. Normal values ranging from 50-200 IU/L. The increase in the level of this enzyme is less specific and less sensitive than CPK for acute myocardial infarction.
