High creatine kinase MB isoenzyme activity associated with a rhabdomyosarcoma.
نویسندگان
چکیده
A 20-year-old man was found to have high plasma creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) activity in association with a rhabdomyosarcoma of the prostate. There was a very high proportion of the MB isoenzyme. Clinical findings and changes in creatine kinase activity with time showed that this increase was not ascribable to myocardial disease. We believe that the high proportion of CK-MB, confirmed by a combination of electrophoretic and immunoinhibition studies, originated from the tumor.

Increased activities of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes in a patient with metastatic ovarian tumor.
A 50-year-old woman with metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma of the ovary had increased activities of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2), CK-MB isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LD; EC 1.1.1.27), and LD-2 isoenzyme in her serum. The isoenzyme activities did not show a pattern of increasing, then decreasing. Clinical findings, including electrocardiograms, did not support the diagnosis of myocardial infar...
متن کاملUse of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme for diagnosing myocardial infarction when total creatine kinase activity is high.
The usefulness of measuring creatine kinase MB isoenzyme for diagnosing myocardial infarction when activities of total creatine kinase are very high is unclear. We conducted a retrospective study in an urban hospital that serves a largely indigent population. We concentrated on 146 patients whose creatine kinase activity was greater than 1000 U/L (upper limit of normal: 165 U/L for women and 22...
متن کاملCirculating CK-MB and CK-BB isoenzyme after gastrointestinal surgery.
The effect of gastrointestinal surgery on serum creatine kinase activity was studied in 30 patients. The MB isoenzyme was demonstrated in sera of 30% of the patients and BB isoenzyme in 23%. MB content varied from 0.8 to 10.3% of the total creatine kinase activity, and the BB content from 0.6 to 18.4%. The CK-BB was probably of gastrointestinal origin, since gastrointestinal tract contains high...
متن کاملCirculating CK-MB and CK-BB isoenzymes after prostate resection.
We studied the effect of prostate resection on serum creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) and lactate dehydrogenase (EC 1.1.1.27) isoenzymes in 22 patients. Two hours after their operations, two-thirds of these patients had increased total creatine kinase activity. The MB isoenzyme was demonstrated in sera of 66% of the patients and the BB isoenzyme in 76%. MB content varied from 1 to 7% of total creat...
متن کاملDetection of cardiac-specific creatine kinase isoenzyme in sera with normal or slightly increased total creatine kinase activity.
We describe a spectrophotometric kinetic assay for detecting creatine kinase MB isoenzyme activity in the 1 to 10 U/liter range. The MB isoenzyme was isolated [Clin. Chem. 20, 36 (1974)] and assayed (Rosalki method) with an Abbott ABA-100. Good reproducibility was demonstrated for MB isoenzyme activities near 1 U/liter (CV = 2.6%). Sera with normal or slightly increased total creatine kinase ac...
