CK’s job is to add a phosphate group, a group of natural chemicals, to creatine, a substance in your muscle cells that helps your muscles produce energy. When CK adds phosphates to creatine, it turns the creatine into the high-energy molecule, phosphocreatine, which your body uses to generate energy. CK gets into your bloodstream when your muscles, heart or brain experience acute damage or chronic degeneration. When your muscles are damaged, the muscle cells break open, and their contents, including creatine kinase, leak into your bloodstream.

Exercise and training are the main cause of increased creatine kinase levels High CK levels are also found in obese and overweight people. Muscle injuries, physical trauma, and burns Genetic muscle disorder, such as muscular dystrophy Infections by viruses, bacteria, fungi, or parasites, causing muscle wasting Fever, accompanied by shivering Hormonal disorders, such as hypothyroidism, Addison’s disease, acromegaly Diabetes; when it causes muscle dysfunction Some cases of autoimmune diseases when there is muscle involvement Heart attacks

CK-MB Test: Specifically measures CK-MB, a form of CK found mainly in the heart muscle. Elevated CK-MB levels can indicate myocardial infarction (heart attack). Troponin I (TnI): Measures the levels of troponin I in the blood. Troponin I is also specific to cardiac muscle and is released into the bloodstream when there is damage to the heart muscle. Kidey function test : elevated levels of CK in conditions like myoglobinuria can contribute to kidney problems
