Creatine kinase (CK)

Blood creatine kinase (CK) testing measures the levels of CK, an enzyme found in muscles, heart, and brain tissue, to assess muscle damage or injury.

Elevated CK levels can indicate conditions such as heart attacks, muscle diseases, or intense physical exertion, helping to diagnose and monitor muscle or heart-related health issues.
