Q: dear all, i have these lab results: ck 152u/l, normal<190, ckmb 23 u/l, normal<24 troponin t <50, normal<50. should i be worried? thanks from brazil

What's the worry?: If your ekg is okay, the troponin t is not rising and is not beyond the reference range, and you have 'a little' chest pain that's not taking your breath away, you are not having a heart attack. That does not mean that you are not sick. A physical exam will let you know whether this is just chest wall pain as from overexertion, or whether to look farther.

Q: hi, i've these lab result: ck 121 u/l, normal <190 ckmb 22 u/l, normal <24 troponin t <50, normal <50 should i be worried?coz ckmb near its max limit.

No: Enzymes rise and fall at the time of a heart attack. Only enzymes in the abnormal range are diagnostic. All your values are normal so there is no reason to be concerned. High normal values are normal values.

Q: yesterday at er,ekg normal,troponin normal,cpk high,ckmb normal,they send me home.today made lab test by myself,trop normal,cpk and cpkm elevated?

Unclear question: Total CK may be elevated due to muscular activity and so may be CKMB. You did not provide any values. With normal troponin and evaluation at ER being normal, it is not likely that you have acute heart disease. What did your cardiac cath show?

Question 1

ck-mb elevated 18; ck normal 144, trop t negative. diagnosis?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis: Blood tests without clinical information, indication and context have little meaning, more information needed to interpret values.

Question 2

what is the normal value of ck-mb test in ng/ml units? 
i have less than 0.18 ng/ml?

Accepted Answer

: All laboratory results need to be interpreted in the clinical context and the doctor who ordered the tests is usually in the best position to do that. Talk to the doctor who ordered the tests. Having said that, CK-MB has been superseded by troponin for myocardial infarction.     
Wish you good health!

Question 3

why would troponin and myoglobin show up at high levels in my blood work? what does ckmb or mb stand for in blood work?_

Accepted Answer

Talk to your doctor: Troponin and CKMB are both cardiac enzymes released into the bloodstream when there has been damage to heart muscle and are generally used as markers for heart attacks. Myoglobin comes from regular skeletal muscle when it is damaged and appears in your urine. If your total CK is in the 1000s then it might artificially raise the cardiac markers but can damage kidneys, either way see a doctor now!

Question 4

my dad is feeling pain in rib cage area,  following test r done, sodium, ck-t, creatinine, potasm, troponine i, all normal but ck-mb is 5, wht it mean?

Accepted Answer

Normal trponin no MI: Ckmb is not a very sensitive test and can be false positive due to many factors, and troponin is more sensitive test and if it is normal means there is strong probability that the pain is not related to heart attack or acute coronary syndrome.

Question 5

slight chest pain and shortness of breath. ekg normal,troponine normal,ck-mb normal but cpk slight increased to 202 with limit 190.what that means?tx

Accepted Answer

Probably nothing : Reference ranges are set so that several percent of healthy folks fall outside at either end. And if you exercise hard, this is common.

Question 6

can you tell me how and what are the factors in decreasing the ckmb level?

Accepted Answer

I'm not sure: what you mean by this question.
This is an ENZYME released upon the DEATH of CARDIAC muscle! A decreasing CKBM may be the RECOVERY phase of ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (Heart attack)
Hope this helps!

Question 7

what to do if i have high cpk and ckmb level?

Accepted Answer

Relative index?: It depends on your relative index. If you perform strenuous muscular work and draw a CPK and CPK-MB, both will be elevated, but the relative index will be normal indicating a benign source. If the RI is elevated, you should have a troponin done. If it's elevated, you may have had a recent heart attack, myocarditis, or trauma.

Question 8

dear all, i have these lab results: ck 152u/l, normal<190, ckmb 23 u/l, normal<24 troponin t <50, normal<50. should i be worried? thanks from brazil

Question 10
