Creatine Kinase MB (CK-MB) Test In Pune
Starts from 75*
Creatine Kinase is an enzyme found in the blood, which is responsible for the production of cellular energy, and metabolic activities in the cells. CK is found in the heart, muscles, and other organs which include the brain, intestines, and uterus. They are released into the blood during muscle damage.
There are three types of Creatine Kinase enzymes, found in different parts of the body:
- CK-MB- Found in the heart muscle
- CK-MM- Found in the skeletal muscles
- CK-BB- Found in the brain tissue.
Excessive amounts of CK-MB in the blood is an indicator of muscle damage, most commonly a heart attack. To check for the level of CK-MB in the blood, a Creatine Kinase MB Test is performed to determine a muscle injury and its intensity.
The CK-MB test also helps doctors figure out the probability of heart attack or other heart-related problems, and provides the patients with the preventive measures for the same. The CPK MB test price in Pune is around INR 250 only.
