The CK, Total test measures the level of creatine kinase, an enzyme found primarily in skeletal muscle, heart muscle, and the brain. Elevated CK levels may indicate muscle injury, inflammation, or stress, and can also be seen in certain heart or neuromuscular conditions.
This test is commonly used to evaluate muscle pain, weakness, or injury and to monitor conditions that affect muscle tissue. CK levels may also rise after intense physical activity or due to certain medications.
