Answers:
Elevation of CK-I may be seen in stroke, extreme shock, or brain tumor.
Elevation of CK-II is seen after a myocardial infarction. It begins to rise three to six hours after the heart attack, and may peak within 24 hours. It should then return to normal. For this reason, it is a useful marker for recent myocardial infarction, but not for one which occurred more than a day before the test.
Elevation of CK-III indicates skeletal muscle damage. This may occur from normal exercise, trauma, or muscle disease. CK levels may be very high early on in muscular dystrophy, but may fall to normal later as muscle tissue is lost. Elevated CK is also seen in myositis, myoglobinuria, toxoplasmosis, and trichinosis. Hypothyroidism may also cause elevated CK.

CK enzymes - different enzymes show different things - muscle breakdown, heart attack, brain issues. Often, exercise could raise your CK level. But there are different CK enzymes - speak with your doctor.

how can i get rid of hemmroids quickly?

I work in cardiology and we draw CK's to determine your muscle enzymes. Don't let it worry you unless you have cardiac disease. You might have had CKMB's drawn and CTROPONIN. They all work in conjunction together. The only time to worry about high CK's is when your CKMB and CTROP levels are high because that indicates a heart attack.

If only the CK's are high don't worry about it. It just means you had a lot of muscle use that created the enzyme. It fluctuates.

Creatine Kinase (creatine phosphokinase)

This enzyme is found in heart muscle (CK-MB), skeletal muscle (CK-MM), and brain (CK-BB). Creatine kinase is increased in over 90% of myocardial infarctions. However, it can be increased in muscle trauma, physical exertion, postoperatively, convulsions, delirium tremens and other conditions.

§ begins to rise 4-6 hours
§ peaks 24 hours
§ returns to normal in 3-4 days
