Creatine Kinase (CK, Creatine
Phosphokinase (CPK) Type of Test : Blood
Normal findings:
Adult Elderly Male: 55-170 units/LFemale: 30-135 units/L
CPK is found predominantly in the heart muscle, skeletalmuscle,
and brain. Serum CPK levels are elevated whenever
injury occurs to these muscles or nerve cells. CPK levels
canrise within 6 hours after damage. The CPK-MB isoenzymepart
appears to be specific for myocardial cells. CPK-MBlevels rise 3 to
6 hours after infarction occur.

Triglycerides (TGs) Type of Test: Blood
Normal Findings:

Male: 40-160 mg/dl or 0.45-1.81 mmol/L Female: 35-135 mg/dl or
0.40-1.52 mmol/L

excess. TGs are deposited in thefatty tissues.
