BIOCHEMICALLY IMPORTANT ENZYMES Flashcards
considered a specific marker for liver disease
SGPT
present in liver tissue, and elevations may be seen in liver disease such as hepatitis and cirrhosis
LDH4 AND LDH5
an enzyme that is found primarily in skeletal and cardiac muscle and in
smaller fractions in the brain
CREATINE KINASE
found in the liver
SGOT
useful in the diagnosis of myocardial infarction
LDH1 AND LDH2
TYPES OF CK
muscle (CK-MM)
brain (CK-BB)
cardiac tissue (CK-MB)
present in the heart, kidney, pancreas, lungs, and skeletal muscle
SGOT
enzyme that aids in the digestion of fat
LIPASE
important marker in the diagnosis of acute myocardial
infarction
cardiac tissue (CK-MB)
For diagnosis of liver disease
SGOT
primarily secreted by the pancreas
LIPASE
sensitive markers of cardiac injury
Troponin I and T
useful in the diagnosis of pancreatitis
LIPASE
enzyme found in the liver, kidney, and pancreas
g-Glutamyl Transpeptidase
found solely in the cardiac muscle
TROPONIN I
