What are other terms for CPK?  CK; Creatine kinase; Creatine phosphokinase   

Definition 

A CPK is a blood test that measures creatine phosphokinase (CPK), an enzyme found predominantly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. When the total CPK level is substantially elevated, it usually indicates injury or stress to one or more of these areas.

What abnormal results mean  

Higher than normal total CPK levels may be seen with conditions such as the following:

• Heart attack
• Myocarditis (inflammation of the heart muscle)
• Central nervous system trauma or stroke
• Convulsions
• Delirium tremens
• Dermatomyositis or polymyositis
• Electric shock
• Muscular dystrophies
• Pulmonary infarction (lung tissue death)

Additional conditions may give positive test results:

• Hypothyroidism
• Pericarditis following a heart attack
• Rhabdomyolysis

Why the test is performed   

When a muscle is damaged, CPK leaks into the bloodstream. Determining which isoenzyme (specific form of CPK) is elevated will help determine which tissue has been damaged.

This test may be used to:

• Diagnose heart attack
• Evaluate cause of chest pain
• Determine the extent of muscle damage caused by drugs, trauma or immobility
• Detect early dermatomyositis and polymyositis
• Distinguish malignant hyperthermia from a postoperative infection
• Help discover carriers of muscular dystrophy (Duchenne)

Repeated checks of CPK levels may be performed. The pattern and timing of a rise or fall in CPK levels can be diagnostically significant, particularly if a heart attack is suspected.

What about C-Reactive Protein CRP

And other things to check in one's blood

Other things going on, too? Mental Health - CFIDS?

I suspect Aristotle Onassis was health damaged by THIS chemical, too; and as usual, it was not recognized by his doctors. "I'm convinced that metabolic features (changes in cholesterol and lipid profile, changes in glucose uptake and cell use, mitochondrial diseases and so on) are among main underestimated issue of 2-BE," says a French journalist
