Creatine kinase and its isoenzymes in the serum of women during pregnancy and the peripartum period.

Comparison of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A, troponin and creatine kinase-MB levels in acute coronary syndrome

Background: Early diagnosis and proper treatment of patient with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and ischemic heart disease are important in determining prognosis, preventing adverse effects, and may even save lives. In this study, the level of pregnancy-associated plasma protein-A (PAPP-A) in ACS patients was compared with the control group, in addition to cardiac Troponin (cTn) and creatine kin...

Assessment of The Diagnostic Capability of Serum Creatine Phosphokinase and Its Isoenzyme in Ectopic Pregnancy

The most sensitive double-marker method of cardiac isoenzymes of creatinine kinase, troponin I, and myoglobin in different time periods for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction

  Purpose: Myocardial infarction is among the most common diagnoses in patients admitted   to hospitals in western countries, and its rapid diagnosis is of utmost importance. This study   was conducted to determine the most sensitive double-marker cardiac isoenzyme of creatinine   kinase, troponin I, and myoglobin for diagnosing acute myocardial infarction.   Materials and Methods: This was an ...

A case report of Churg-Strauss syndrome in peripartum period

Allergic granulomatous angiitis (Churg-Strauss syndrome) is a variant of systemic vasculitis characterized by pulmonary and systemic small vessel vasculitis, extra-vascular granulomas and eosinophilia. Clinical features include presence of asthma and/or allergic rhinitis with constitutional symptoms such as fever and weight loss. Multisystem involvement includes pulmonary infiltrations, m...

P-178: Separation and Identification of Alkaline Phosphatase Isozymes during Pregnancy

Background: Alkaline phosphatase (ALP), (EC 3.1.3.1) is a hydrolase enzyme responsible for removing phosphate groups from various molecules in the body. In humans, ALPis present in all tissues such as liver, bile duct, kidney, bone, and the placenta which detection of its activity is so useful in molecular biology. Pregnancy is associated with normal physiological changes that assist fetal surv...
