Collection and usage attributes

Guide for use:

CODE 8888 if test for CK was not done for this hospital presentation.

Where possible, several CK measures should be recorded and their associated date and time. At a minimum, an initial, peak and late value should be recorded.

When only one CK level is recorded, this should be the peak level.

Comments:

Elevation of CK isoenzyme is an indication of damage to muscle.

There are three different CK isoenzyme sub-forms:

- CK-MM (skeletal muscle)

- CK-MB (cardiac muscle)

- CK-BB (brain tissue)
