Creatine kinase (CK) is an enzyme found primarily in skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, and brain tissue. It is commonly measured to assess muscle injury or damage and may assist in the evaluation of conditions such as myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, and other muscle-related disorders.

The findings related to these particular clinical tests are a general guide and do not cover every possible scenario, this is because every patient is unique and these results only have true clinical significance when combined with the patient’s full medical history, a physical exam, and other diagnostic findings.
