Serum creatine phosphokinase: evaluation of a commercial spectrophotometric method.

چکیده
The clinical and laboratory applications of an assay method for serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) utilizing a reagent capsule were investigated. Continuous recording of the change in absorbance at 340 mu, during the assay period gave a slightly sigmoid curve. The time interval between serum addition and the beginning of the linear portion of the absorbancecurve varied with the level of enzyme activity. With samplesof low activity, up to 8 mm. elapsed before the linear phase began. The rate of change in absorbanceincreased in a linear fashion with respect to increasing CPK concentration, up to a level of about 370 U. When serum sampleswith activity above this level were diluted and reassayed, and the data appropriately corrected for dilution, significantly increased activity could be demonstrated in the diluted samples. Adenylate kinase from hemolyzed erythrocytes may interfere with measurement of CPK activity in this assaysystem.This does not present a problem if sampleswith visible hemolysisare excluded. The range of normal human serum CPK values recommended for this method is 0-40 U./L. at 30#{176}. Abnormal values in patients with injuries or diseasesof skeletal muscle were as high as 55,000 U. After acute myocardial infarction, elevated serum CPK levels were detected within 4 hr. after the onset of chest pain. In some of these patients CPK activity did not return to normal for a week or more. Properly used, this method provides a reliable and convenient assay procedure for serum CPK activity.

Creatine phosphokinase values and myalgia during isotretinoin therapy
Background: Systemic isotretinoin is a very effective medication for the treatment of acne, but it has some side effects. One of its side effects is musculoskeletal problems such as increased levels of creatine phosphokinase (CPK), myalgia, and serious muscle damage such as rhabdomyolysis. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of myalgia and its relationship with the elevation of ...

In this paper, we introduce a new estimation method for total creatine phosphokinase release based on a physiological model of the serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) activity change that can be used to estimate the total CPK release accurately, as early as possible, without frequent blood sampling. The physiological model and a new calculation method were applied to the serum CPK activity chang...
متن کاملA spectrophotometric method for the determination of creatine phosphokinase and myokinase.
where ATP = adenosine triphosphate and ADP= adenosine diphosphate. The substances most commonly determined have been creatine or creatine phosphate; e.g. Banga (1943), Askonas (1951), Narayanaswami (1952), Ennor & Rosenberg (1954), Kuby, Noda & Lardy (1954) and Chappell & Perry (1954). These methods may not always be convenient for the determination of creatine phosphokinase activity in tissue ...
