What is the CPK test used for?

A CPK test measures the concentration of total CPK enzymes in the patient’s serum.

To detect any cardiac muscle damage that helps diagnose a heart attack.
To determine the effectiveness of the provided therapy in terms of muscle damage.
To identify the source of chest pain.
To determine muscular dystrophy.
To diagnose dermatomyositis, malignant hyperthermia, polymyositis, and other muscle diseases.

What is included in the CPK test?

In the CPK test, the total creatine phosphokinase (CPK) enzyme level is measured in the blood serum when a muscle is under stress or injured, CPK leaks into the blood and elevated levels.

There are three main isoenzymes of CPK. CPK-BB is present in the lungs and brain. CPK-MB is a more specific marker of myocardial muscle, whereas CPK-MM is a marker of skeletal muscle. Finding which specific form of CPK is elevated helps determine which tissue has been damaged.

A certified lab technician conducts this test.

Procedure for CPK test

This test requires a blood sample which is usually collected from the vein. It should only take a few minutes to collect the sample.
A topical antiseptic is applied to the inside of your elbow to clean a small area of your skin. An elastic band is then wrapped around your upper arm to apply pressure to find a vein.
Once a vein is seen, a sterile needle is inserted to draw blood into a small tube.
When the needle is inserted, you may feel a sting; however, the pain will dissipate almost immediately.
After that, a small bandage will be applied at the procedure site.
The sample is labeled and sent to our accredited labs of your choice (made during the booking) for further processing.
With the help of state-of-the-art technology, the blood sample will be analysed by the lab technician.
Once the analysis is completed, the blood test results will be available on the MFine app within the next 24-48 hours.

Things to consider after the CPK test is complete.

Once the test results are available, a general physician, cardiologist, neurologist, nephrologist, or surgeon in your city will review CPK blood test reports and discuss the diagnosis with you.They will recommend and guide you through treatment and any subsequent follow-ups if the levels are high. If you are in the hospital, this test may be repeated in the next two or three days. Please do not attempt to self-diagnose your medical condition.

What types of infection can CPK test detect?

The following are some diseases that can be diagnosed using a CPK test:

The average CPK level is 20 to 200 micrograms per litre (mcg/L). Normal CPK test value varies slightly between laboratories, from male to female and between races. Discuss the test reports with your doctor.

High levels of CPK may indicate:

Muscle injuries
Hormonal disorders like hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism
Viral infections
Diseases affecting the heart, brain, and muscles like a heart attack, an inflammation of the heart muscle, a brain injury, convulsions, delirium tremens, or a stroke.
Diseases of muscles like Rhabdomyolysis, polio.
Muscle injury caused during a road traffic accident.
Heart problems like myocardial infarction, pericarditis,
Thrombosis
Muscle dystrophy
Lung tissue death (pulmonary infarction)
Dermatomyositis or polymyositis

Low levels of CPK may indicate:

Rheumatoid arthritis
Bedridden patients who have very low activity
Lupus

Disclaimer: Please consult with your doctor to interpret the test reports.

Is CPK a definitive test?

The most specific diagnostic for muscular dystrophy is a creatine phosphokinase (CPK) measurement (MD). CPK levels that are elevated are a sign of muscular illness. Hemolysis has little effect on CPK levels since the concentration of CPK in red blood cells is negligible. CPK, like the other enzymes tested, is unaffected by liver disease.as are the other tested enzymes (e.g., aldolase, transaminases, lactate). High CPK levels represent leakage of the enzyme from the muscle cells only.

The timing and pattern of a fall or rise in CPK levels are significant in making a diagnosis, particularly after a heart attack or myocardial infarction. Early diagnosis of acute Myocardial infarction helps in planning the treatment. CPK values must be assessed within 24 hours of the onset of symptoms for more accurate results.

How to read the CPK test report?

If your results show you have a higher than normal level of CK, it may mean you have an injury or disease of the muscles, heart, or brain. To get more information, your provider may order tests to check the levels of specific CK enzymes:

If you have higher than normal CK-MM enzymes, it may mean you have a muscle injury or diseases, such as muscular dystrophy or rhabdomyolysis.
If you have higher than normal CK-MB enzymes, it may mean you have an inflammation of the heart muscle or are having or recently had a heart attack. The CK-MB test is a cardiac marker that is used to help in the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction. It detects the presence of CK-MB in the blood, which is a combination of two variants of the enzyme phosphocreatine kinase.
If you have higher than normal CK-BB enzymes, it may mean you have had a stroke or brain injury.

Other conditions that can cause higher than normal CK levels include:

Blood clots
Infections
Hormonal disorders, including disorders of the thyroid and adrenal glands
Lengthy surgery
Certain medicines
Strenuous exercise can increase creatinine level elevation. It is possible to be healthy and have a high creatinine kinase level. Therefore, it is important to consult your doctor before undertaking any strenuous physical excercise.

Why book a CPK test?

A CPK test is performed to determine the total CPK level in your body. CPK isoenzyme testing can assist in determining the exact source of the damaged tissue.

CPK is made of three slightly different substances:

CPK-1 (also known as CPK-BB) is mostly seen in the lungs and brain
CPK-2 (also known as CPK-MB) is mostly seen in the cardiac muscle
CPK-3 (also known as CPK-MM) is seen in skeletal muscle

This test is used to:

✔ help in diagnosing a heart attack.

✔ evaluate the cause of chest pain.

✔ determine if or how badly a muscle is damaged.

✔ to detect dermatomyositis, polymyositis, and other muscle diseases.

✔ tell the difference between malignant hyperthermia and postoperative infection

the pattern and timing of a rise or fall in CPK levels can be significant in making a diagnosis. This is particularly true if a heart attack is suspected.

CPK test at home – how does it work?

The CPK test is just like any other blood test. A lab technician visits your home when you book your tests through the MFine app. The lab technician first cleans the arm and then inserts a syringe into a vein. The required amount of blood is then taken into a vial. The lab technician then removes the needle and places cotton wool or a bandage over the prick.

Are there any risks involved with the CPK test?

The CPK blood test is a relatively safe procedure with minor side effects. The following are some possible side effects of the CPK test:

Minor bruises or soreness may form at the site of injection. By applying pressure to the affected area for several minutes, you can reduce the likelihood of bruising.
In rare cases, the vein may swell after the blood sample is taken. This condition is known as phlebitis. This can be treated with a warm compress several times per day.
Some people may experience dizziness, fainting, or infection at the puncture site.

What can affect the results of the CPK test?

Test results may vary or show an increased level of CPK if you have any of the following before the test:

Procedures like cardiac catheterisation.
Consumption of alcohol.
Strenuous physical exercise.
Skeletal muscle injury.
Certain medications and supplements.

What Does the CPK Test Measure?

A CPK test measures the level of Creatine phosphokinase enzymes in the bloodstream. When a muscle is stressed or damaged due to severe injury, the CPK flows into the bloodstream and its levels get elevated. Since these enzymes are present in the heart, brain, lungs, and skeletal muscles, any elevation or fall in CPK levels needs to be measured.

What Preparation is Needed for the CPK Test?

The CPK test is just like a normal blood test, which does not require much preparation. There is no need for fasting or avoiding any particular food before the blood test. You must, however, avoid rigorous workouts before the test and inform your doctor about any ongoing medications. You must also inform your doctor of any recent medical or surgical history as a person who has recently undergone surgery, cardiac catheterization, or intramuscular injections would possibly have higher levels of CPK enzymes in their bloodstream.

What Happens to Your Test Sample?

The CPK Test sample will be sent to your preferred lab in Bangalore that you chose while booking the test.

What Do Abnormal Results Indicate?

An abnormal CPK result would result in higher or lower values of CPK in the blood. The average CPK levels for a human body range from 20 to 200 mcg/L (micrograms per litre). These results vary slightly from lab to lab and male to female. One should always consult the doctor if there is any abnormality in the test results. A higher level of CPK indicates muscle injuries, hormonal issues such as hyperthyroidism or hypothyroidism. Other conditions may include muscle dystrophy, pulmonary infection-causing lung tissue death, thrombosis, etc. A lower level of CPK indicates rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, etc. | Disclaimer: It has been advised to always consult with your doctor to interpret the test reports.
