Serum Creatine Kinase Activity in Thyroid Disorders
Introduction Serum creatine kinase (CK) was first used as a diagnostic aid in progressive muscular dystrophy in 1959 by Ebashi et al (1). It has since become an important Clinical marker for muscle damage. The serum CK level in healthy individuals depends on age, race, lean body mass and physical activity (2, 3). Musculoskeletal disorders often accompany thyroid dysfunction. In addition to the ...
متن کاملPairs of Creatine Kinase Serum Activity
Background: For patients with an increased risk of developing myopathy with statin treatment, guidelines recommend to measure CK before and 6-12 weeks after initiating statin treatment. Further, in clinical trials of statins, the number of patients experiencing elevated creatine kinase (CK) serum activity is commonly reported as a safety parameter. Usually exceeding the upper limit of normal (U...
متن کاملIncreased serum creatine kinase.
A 38-year-old white male taxi driver was referred to a lipid clinic by his general practitioner for management of combined hyperlipidemia. He was a smoker with a 20 packyear history. His father had died of myocardial infarction at age 55 years. Examination of this patient revealed a blood pressure of 136/99 mmHg and a body mass index of 29 kg/m, with no clinical signs of hyperlipidemia. Cholest...
متن کاملCreatine kinase and creatine kinase B-subunit activity in serum in cases of suspected myocardial infarction.
We evaluated a diagnostic strategy by studying 481 patients suspected of having had an acute myocardial infarction; the prevalence of infarction by independent criteria was 0.43. This strategy is based on the sequential application of: (a) clinical criteria; (b) total creatine kinase determinations in two serum samples drawn within 10 to 20 h of the onset of acute symptoms; and (c) creatine kin...
متن کاملA "reagentless" fluorometric method for creatine kinase activity in serum.
Measurement of serum creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2) activity is of great value in the diagnosis of myocardial and skeletal muscle diseases (1-3). The greater specificity of CK over that of other enzymes, such as lactate dehydrogenase and aspartate aminotransferase, for the detection of muscular dystrophy and myocardial infarction has attracted much interest in CK determinations. In a prelimin...
