CLINICAL ENZYMOLOGY Flashcards
(103 cards)
Sources of creatine kinase
Brain, myocardium, skeletal muscle
CK pronounced elevation (5 or more times)
Duchenne’s muscular dystrophy
Polymyolitis
Dermatomyositis
Myocardial infarction
CK isoenzyme - elevated in CNS damage, tumors, presence of macro-CK
CK-BB (CK1)
CK Isoenzyme : present in significant amounts in the cardiac tissue ; <6% of total CK in serum
CK-MB (CK2)
CK Isoenzyme : major isoenzyme found in striated muscle and normal serum (94-100%)
CK-MM (CK3)
CK isoenzyme from anode to cathode
CK MM
CK MB
MACRO CK
CK-IM
CK-BB bound to IgG ; migrates between CK MB and CK MM
CK-IM
CK determination : forward reaction / direct method ; creatine —> creatine PO4
Tanzer-Gilvarg
CK determination : reverse reaction / indirect method ; creatine PO4 —> creatine
Oliver-Rosalki
Total CK reference value (MALE)
15-160 U/L
Total CK reference value (FEMALE)
15-130 U/L
LD1 & LD2 tissue sources
Heart, RBCs, renal cortex
LD Isoenzyme found in lungs, lymphocytes, spleen, and pancreases
LD 3
LD Isoenzyme found in liver, skeletal muscle
LD4 and LD5
LD ISOENZYME : HHHH
LD1
LD ISOENZYME : HHHM

LD5
LD1 and LD2 ratio in normal serum
LD2 > LD1
Flipped ratio ; seen in MI, hemolytic disorder, megaloblastic anemia, renal infarction
LD1 > LD2
LD Isoenzyme associated with arteriosclerotic cardiovascular failure signifying grave prognosis and impending death
LD6
LDH Pronounced elevation (5 or more times)
Megaloblastic anemia
Renal infarction

Hepatitis, thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura
Widespread carcinomas, especially hepatic metastases
LDH moderate elevation (3-5 or more times)
Myocardial infarction
Pulmonary infarction
Hemolytic conditions, leukemias
Infectious mononucleosis
Delirium tremendous
Muscular dystrophy
