Evaluation of creatinine phosphokinase in screening patients for malignant hyperpyrexia.
Evidence is presented that serum creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) activity is of no direct value in screening patients for susceptibility to malignant hyperpyrexia and does not correlate with halothane-induced muscle contracture or the presence of myopathy. Widely differing CPK values were found at different times in the same people. In most "malignant hyperpyrexia" families the susceptible patie...
متن کاملCreatinine Phosphokinase (CPK) Elevation in the Coexistence of Wilson's Disease and Autoimmune Hepatitis with Atypical Presentation: A Diagnostic Dilemma
Background: Wilson's disease (WD) is a genetic disorder with various clinical presentations due to excessive accumulation of copper in the liver and other organs. It can present as acute/chronic hepatitis, liver failure, extrahepatic and neuromuscular manifestations. Autoimmune hepatitis (AIH) is a necroinflammatory disease of the liver, which affects a lot of people particularly the children p...
متن کاملCorrelation of post-operative pain and levels of creatin phosphokinase enzyme following ovariohysterectomy in cats
Background: Recognition of pain is challenging in veterinary medicine due to lack of verbal communication and universal pain assessment system. Increase in biochemical parameters have been shown to have direct correlation with level of postoperative pain. Objectives: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate the serum levels of CPK and investigate any correlation in serum levels of CPK an...
متن کاملMalignant hyperpyrexia. Further muscle studies in asymptomatic carriers identified by creatinine phosphokinase screening.
The history, clinical presentation, and management of malignant hyperpyrexia are presented. The aetiology seems to be associated with some inherited abnormality which affects the movement and binding of calcium ions in the sarcoplasmic reticulum, sarcoplasm, and mitochondria. Whether this is a primary muscular defect or secondary to some trophic neural influence is yet to be established. The su...
متن کاملRole of Serum Creatinine Phosphokinase in Outcome Prediction of Intoxicated Patients; a Brief Report
INTRODUCTION Several mechanisms were introduced as causes of serum creatinine phosphokinase (CPK) raise in intoxicated patients. This study aimed to assess the relationship between serum CPK level in the first 24 hours and baseline characteristics as well as outcomes of these patients. METHODS This one year retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted on all intoxicated patients, who wer...
