Rhabdomyolysis
Which creatine kinase is released due to injury of myocardium?
CK-MB
Normal value for CK-MB?
0-3mcg/L
What troponin subtypes are used to detect an MI? Which one is used more often?
Troponin I and Troponin T. Troponin I is used more common over Troponin T.
What troponin subtypes are used to detect an MI?
Troponin I and Troponin T
Normal level for CK (Total)?
50-200 U/L
What is the process of breaking down muscle?
Rhabdomyolysis
What is “flipped LDH”
When you have injury to tissue there is a flip in concentration of LDH-1 and LDH-2. Normally LDH-2 is more abundant but after a MI, LDH-1 increases.
Normal value for CK-MB?
0-3mcg/L
What is the gold standard for detecting a MI?
Troponin
What troponin subtypes are used to detect an MI?
Troponin I and Troponin T
Normal level for troponin I?
Normal level for troponin T?
What does a lipid panel include?
Total cholesterol, triglycerides, HDL, LDL
What is “flipped LDH”
When you have injury to tissue there is a flip in concentration of LDH-1 and LDH-2. Normally LDH-2 is more abundant but after a MI, LDH-1 increases.
What is the byproduct when a clot is broken down?
D-dimer
What does testing for D-dimer indicate?
Possible DVT or pulmonary embolism. Normal value is
What is an acute phase reactant?
Protein whos serum concentration increase or decrease by 25% during inflammatory state?
Why is c-reactive protein-high sensitivity not used to detect MI?
They are not specific for one illness. They can rise from multiple diseases. Use to detect if someone is at risk in the future for MI.
What is an inverse risk factor of CHD?
HDL
