Understanding Creatine Kinase in Kattupakkam


What is Creatine Kinase in Kattupakkam?

A Creatine Kinase is a blood test available in Kattupakkam with Tata 1 mg labs. It helps evaluate the levels of creatine kinase, a type of enzyme predominantly found in your skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and brain. Under normal conditions, its levels in the blood are very low or undetectable. However, when the muscles experience damage, in certain conditions like heart attack, or skeletal muscle injuries, the creatine kinase levels in the blood may significantly rise.  

Doctors may suggest this test if you experience symptoms like chest pain, muscle aches, weakness, breathlessness, profuse sweating, etc, suggestive of muscle injury. This test is also recommended to detect conditions like a heart attack and various muscle diseases like muscular dystrophy (a group of diseases leading to muscle loss and weakness with time), dermatomyositis (inflammation of the muscles and skin), polymyositis (an inflammatory disease that causes muscle weakness), and other muscle disorders like breakdown of muscles (rhabdomyolysis), muscle contractions leading to prolonged seizures (fits), etc. No fasting is required for this test; you may eat and drink as per your daily routine.

What does Creatine Kinase measure?

Creatine kinase is a type of enzyme found in muscles, especially in heart muscles. It is of three types: CK-MM (found mostly in your skeletal muscles), CK-MB (found mostly in your heart muscle), and CK-BB (found mostly in your brain tissue).

CK levels typically rise sharply within 3 to 5 hours after a heart attack, reach a maximum level after 12-14 hours, and return to normal range after 3-4 days after a heart attack. Doctors often repeat this test to check the CK levels after some time.
