Low serum creatine phosphokinase values in patients with acute viral hepatitis. 1984

Z Rotenberg, and I Weinberger, and J Fuchs, and E Davidson, and A Erdberg, and O Sperling, and J Agmon

Low values of serum creatine phosphokinase (CPK) were found in a group of 27 patients suffering from acute viral hepatitis. The values were significantly lower than CPK values in a group of 25 patients with extra hepatic obstructive jaundice (23.3 +/- 32.1 versus 163 +/- 43 U/L, p less than 0.001). CPK values in the hepatitis group when recovered (6 months after hospitalization) were much higher than the mean CPK levels in the same group during the acute illness (178 +/- 28 versus 23.3 +/- 32.1 U/L, p less than 0.001) and were the same as a control group of 26 healthy volunteers (179 +/- 28 versus 179 +/- 20.9 U/L). Similar results were found when the groups were divided into separate male and female groups. Serum CPK values, thus, were found to be a useful diagnostic tool to distinguish between patients with intrahepatic jaundice due to acute viral hepatitis and patients with extra hepatic obstructive jaundice.

D003402 Creatine Kinase A transferase that catalyzes formation of PHOSPHOCREATINE from ATP + CREATINE. The reaction stores ATP energy as phosphocreatine. Three cytoplasmic ISOENZYMES have been identified in human tissues: the MM type from SKELETAL MUSCLE, the MB type from myocardial tissue and the BB type from nervous tissue as well as a mitochondrial isoenzyme. Macro-creatine kinase refers to creatine kinase complexed with other serum proteins.
