CPK, Total
CPK, Total tests for total creatine kinase (CK) levels in the blood, which can indicate muscle injury or damage. Elevated levels are associated with conditions like muscle inflammation or heart attacks.
A CK total blood test measures total CPK or CK enzyme. CPK or CK enzyme stands for creatine kinase. It is an enzyme that speeds up certain chemical processes in the body. CK enzyme is chiefly found in the skeletal muscles but it is also found in the heart. A CPK test is taken to identify muscle damage or heart damage. If the CPK test reports reveal high creatine kinase levels, it is a sign of muscle damage. Small creatine kinase levels may indicate little wear and tear of the muscles, however, a larger number indicates damage to the muscles of the heart or brain when these enzymes leak into the blood. It is a simple blood test that doesn’t require you to move out of your home. A trained phlebotomist will reach your doorstep to collect the sample.
