creatine kinase Flashcards
which cells is creatine kinase in high concentrations?
muscle and brain
what happens when muscle or brain cells die?
creatine kinase released into blood stream
how many isoenzymes of creatine kinase are there?
three MM, MB, BB
where is the MB form found
myocardium (heart muscle)
which isoenzyme moves closest to negative electrode?
MM
what is a myocardial infarct?
death of heart muscle cells
how can we use creatine kinase levels to diagnose damage to tissues?
high MM levels for muscle damage
high MB levels for heart damage
high BB levels for brain damage
what other markers are there of myocardial damage?
serum glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase(SGOT)
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)
cardiac troponin
