    What is Creatine Phosphokinase -MB (CKMB/CPKMB) Test?

    The CPK MB test checks the levels of Creatine Phosphokinase Myocardial Band, a specific type of enzyme, in the blood. Damage to heart muscle cells, as seen in a heart attack, leads to increased CPK MB levels, making this test a crucial tool for identifying cardiac issues.

    In addition to detecting heart-related conditions, the test can reveal skeletal muscle damage or inflammation. Elevated readings of CPK MB are frequently assessed alongside Troponin I and Troponin T levels for a more detailed understanding of heart injuries.

    Book your CPK MB test in Mumbai today for convenient and accurate results, allowing you to monitor your heart and muscle health from the comfort of your home.

    Creatine Phosphokinase -MB (CKMB/CPKMB) Test Parameters

    The CPK MB test measures a specific parameter: the levels of creatine phosphokinase-myocardial band (CPK MB) in the bloodstream.

    Creatine phosphokinase is a key enzyme responsible for generating energy within the body. It plays a vital role in supporting tissues that require substantial energy, including the muscles, heart, and brain. The enzyme exists in three types: CPK MM, which is primarily found in skeletal muscles; CPK MB, located mainly in the heart; and CPK BB, found predominantly in the brain.

    When tissues or muscles sustain injury, creatine phosphokinase escapes into the blood, making it useful for identifying issues such as heart attacks or muscle injuries. By determining which form of the enzyme is elevated, the source of the damage can be pinpointed. For example, higher CPK MB levels suggest heart-related problems, while elevated CPK MM levels are linked to skeletal muscle issues. This test provides crucial insights into muscle and tissue health, helping to identify the underlying cause of symptoms and aiding in guiding appropriate treatment decisions.

However, it’s advisable to avoid alcohol and strenuous exercise for a couple of days before testing, as these may temporarily raise creatine phosphokinase levels.
