| CPK |
(noun) enzyme present in skeletal muscle and cardiac muscle and the brain. Serum CPK is increased 10-25 times in the first few hours following a heart attack. The level returns to normal within 2-4 days. CPK serum levels are also increased in progressive muscular dystrophy and following trauma to skeletal muscle. It is not elevated in liver disease or pulmonary infarction.

| CPK |
level - Creatine Phosphokinase - an enzyme found in skeletal muscle. When the CPK level is substantially elevated, it usually indicates injury (eg Myositis). A simple blood test can measure levels of creatine phosphokinase. A value of between 25 and 200 would be regarded as normal, but levels can escalate into the thousands. A myositis 'flare' is often diagnosed by a sharp increase in CK or CPK values.
