Creatine Phosphokinase MB Test

Creatine Phosphokinase-MB is a sensitive and specific indicator to diagnose the Acute Myocardial Infarction. CPK-MB measures the blood level and relatively bounds the combination of the 2 variants such as isoenzymes CKM and CKB in enzyme phosphocreatine kinase. Measuring ratio of the CK-MB1 and CK-MB2 isoforms is quite easier and accurate. Creatine Phosphokinase-MB test detects isoforms of B subunit of the myocardium. Creatine Phosphokinase-MB is useful as the best diagnostic tools for the MI even elevated after the irreversible myocardial injury occurred. It is easier to identify the patient with the acute coronary syndrome along with the therapeutic intervention of any mitigates myocardial damages.

No special preparation is required for the CK- MB. However, it is necessary to inform the doctor when you are underlying medical conditions, medications or allergies before the test. Depending on your condition doctor will give specific instructions about the preparation for Creatine Phosphokinase-MB diagnosis. Taking every advice from the doctors is most important before the procedure and it is important to inform the doctor about any difficulties or health condition.

Creatine-Phosphokinase-MB the primary tests to detect and monitor heart attacks and they are now used for accurately measuring the sequence. For the confirmation of the Myocardial Infarction and Myocardial Injury, Creatine Kinase MB test is conducted. Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) is an enzyme that is commonly found in the heart muscle cells. Creatine-Phosphokinase-MB test is to measure the CK-MB present in the blood. There are 3 forms of Creatine-Phosphokinase-MB as- CK-MM - in skeletal muscles and heart CK-MB - found in the heart, and small amounts found in skeletal muscles CK-BB - found in the brain and smooth

The methodology is called the Spectrophotometric method. About 0.5 mL Blood sample is drawn by needle from the vein in your arm and transferred to the serum gel tube. Serum gel tubes are centrifuged within 2 hours of collection. Red-top tubes are centrifuged as well as aliquoted within 2 hours of the collection of the sample. The normal result on Creatine Kinase MB will be 5 - 25IU/L for the Unisex gender for all the age groups. Creatine Kinase MB fraction test is performed on the sample of blood for measuring the Creatine Kinase MB level in blood. Creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) test is conducted as follow-up to the initial increase in the creatine kinase (CK) due to skeletal muscle damage or heart damage.
