CK-MB/CPK Total Ratio

Short Name: CK/CPK
Sample required: Serum
Result Time: 1 Days

The relative index calculated by the ratio of CK-MB (mass) to total CK can assist in differentiating false-positive elevations of CK-MB arising from skeletal muscle. A ratio of less than 3 is consistent with a skeletal muscle source, whereas ratios greater than 5 are indicative of a cardiac source.
