Increased serum creatine kinase.
A 38-year-old white male taxi driver was referred to a lipid clinic by his general practitioner for management of combined hyperlipidemia. He was a smoker with a 20 packyear history. His father had died of myocardial infarction at age 55 years. Examination of this patient revealed a blood pressure of 136/99 mmHg and a body mass index of 29 kg/m, with no clinical signs of hyperlipidemia. Cholest...
متن کاملNOVEL REAGENTS FOR CREATINE KINASE
The purpose of this investigation was to develop a simple colorimetric method for creatine kinase (CK). The new method is based on the reaction of creatine, formed enzymatically from creatine phosphate and ADP, with different glyoxal compounds. Hydrated glyoxals, such as para-nitrophenyl, 2-thiophene, 4- biphenyl, 4, 4' -biphenyl,α-naphthyl, β-naphthyl, para-chlorophenyl, and styryl were...
متن کاملIncreased Rho kinase activity predicts worse cardiovascular outcome in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction patients.
BACKGROUND Few clinical studies have assessed Rho kinase (ROCK) in patients with dia-betes mellitus (DM) and ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). This study aimed to determine whether ROCK activity in circulating leukocytes is increased in STEMI patients with DM and whether ROCK activity predicts the onset of cardiovascular events. METHODS Blood samples were collected from 60 S...
متن کاملCauses of increased plasma creatine kinase activity after surgery.
To determine whether drug reactions might play a role in postoperatively increased plasma enzyme activity, we measured creatine kinase (CK), and ornithine carbamoyl transferase (OCT) activities immediately before and on the 1st, 4th, and 8th day after 343 elective surgical procedures performed on 327 patients who had received various drugs pre-operatively. We saw no overt clinical evidence of m...
متن کاملCreatine and creatine kinase measurement.
*Many methods for measuring creatine are known, the principal ones being direct calorimetric assay (l), indirect calorimetric assay (2), and destruction with bacterial adaptive enzymes (3). However, none of these methods are specific nor are they sensitive enough to detect very small amounts of creatine. rIhese assays have been used to examine urine and serum for creatine content, but, because ...
