Evaluation of creatinine phosphokinase in screening patients for malignant hyperpyrexia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
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 patients had either normal or inconsistently raised CPK values.

Malignant hyperthermia (MH) is a disorder in genetically susceptible patients characterized by a hypermetabolic state triggered by agents used commonly during general anesthesia. The syndrome first was recognized in 1962 and is associated with tachycardia, muscle rigidity, increased oxygen demand, severe hyperpyrexia, metabolic acidosis, hyperkalemia, elevated serum enzyme creatinine phosphokin...

A further family carrying the abnormality for malignant hyperpyrexia has been studied over four generations. The carriers with one exception have been identified by creatine phosphokinase estimations. In one branch of this family two grandchildren exhibit multiple musculoskeletal abnormalities and in addition a high creatine phosphokinase. The rest of the family was clinically normal though man...

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 کاملCalcium and magnesium contents of malignant hyperpyrexia-susceptible human muscle.
The calcium and magnesium contents of muscle obtained by muscle biopsy of patients referred for malignant hyperpyrexia screening were determined. The susceptibility to malignant hyperpyrexia was made on the basis of the halothane contracture test. No difference in cation concentrations was found between the normal and malignant hyperpyrexia-susceptible groups.
