The diagnostic specificity of creatine kinase isoenzymes after transurethral operations. 1983

R V Clayman, and S A Ortlip, and J H Eckfeldt

It has been suggested recently that increases in the concentration of the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase after transurethral operations could result from release of creatine kinase-MB by prostatic or bladder tissues and, therefore, that creatine kinase-MB is not specific for myocardial damage. Our study of 53 patients undergoing transurethral operations and 37 undergoing urethral dilations showed that creatine kinase-MB is not released in significant quantities from the prostate or bladder. Therefore, we believe that an elevated creatine kinase-MB concentration is specific for myocardial infarction in these patients. We also concluded that the increase in total serum creatine kinase activity in these patients probably results from release of the creatine kinase-MM isoenzyme from periurethral muscle damage by electrocautery.

They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D011467 Prostate A gland in males that surrounds the neck of the URINARY BLADDER and the URETHRA. It secretes a substance that liquefies coagulated semen. It is situated in the pelvic cavity behind the lower part of the PUBIC SYMPHYSIS, above the deep layer of the triangular ligament, and rests upon the RECTUM. Prostates
D011468 Prostatectomy Complete or partial surgical removal of the prostate. Three primary approaches are commonly employed: suprapubic - removal through an incision above the pubis and through the urinary bladder; retropubic - as for suprapubic but without entering the urinary bladder; and transurethral (TRANSURETHRAL RESECTION OF PROSTATE).

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.
