|---|---|
| Expected TAT | 3 - 6 days |
| Clinical Use | The creatine kinase isoenzyme test separates the major isoenzymes of creatine kinase (CK-MM Isoenzyme (muscle), CK-MB Isoenzyme (specific for cardiac muscle), and CK-BB Isoenzyme (found in brain, prostate, gut, lung, bladder, uterus, placenta, and thyroid) by electrophoresis. Creatine Kinase Isoenzymes is useful in the evaluation of myocardial disease. Isoenzyme CK-MM is found in skeletal muscle whereas isoenzyme CK-MB is increased in recent myocardial (heart) damage. |
