In conditions such as rhabdomyolysis, the creatine kinase level can fall between 10,000 to 200,000 or even higher. The higher the result ...
Test result interpretation
A high CPK test value indicates that there has been recent damage to the muscles. However, the location or cause of the damage is not shown. Subsequent CPK test results may peak and then begin to drop. This indicates that the recent muscle damage has...
Sample types
The creatine phosphokinase test results are evaluated through a blood sample and analysing the levels of the CPK enzymes present in the blood.
Test preparation
The creatine phosphokinase test is a relatively simple blood test. A healthcare provid...
