CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test for the diagnosis of disorders of the heart and muscle. This test measures the levels of different forms of creatine kinase (CK) in the blood to identify the source of tissue damage or injury.
Test Details
The CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test is a diagnostic test that involves separating the different forms of CK based on their electrical charge. This is done through agarose gel electrophoresis. A blood sample is placed on a gel medium and an electric current is applied. The different forms of CK migrate at different rates, forming distinct bands on the gel.
There are three major CK isoenzymes: CK-MM (found in skeletal muscles), CK-MB (found in the heart), and CK-BB (found in the brain). An elevated level of CK-MM indicates muscle damage, CK-MB suggests heart damage, and CK-BB indicates brain damage.
Test Cost
The cost of the CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test at DNA Labs UAE is 1870.0 AED.
Symptoms and Diagnosis
The CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test helps healthcare providers in diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as heart attacks, muscle diseases, and brain injuries. It provides information about the specific tissue damage or injury, helping determine the extent and location of the damage.
Sample Requirements
For the CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test, a minimum of 2 mL (1.5 mL min.) serum from 1 SST is required. Hemolysed specimens are not acceptable. The sample should be shipped refrigerated or frozen.
Report Delivery
The sample should be provided by 9 am and the report will be delivered on the same day.
Pre Test Information
No special preparation is required for the CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test.
Test Department
The CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test is conducted in our Test Department.
Doctor
The CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test is recommended by Cardiologists.
Conclusion
The CK CPK ISOENZYME ELECTROPHORESIS Test is a valuable diagnostic tool for identifying tissue damage or injury in the heart, muscles, and brain. It helps healthcare providers determine the extent and location of the damage, guide treatment decisions, and assess the effectiveness of therapy.

| Test Details | CK (CPK) isoenzyme electrophoresis is a diagnostic test that measures the levels of different forms of creatine kinase (CK) in the blood. CK is an enzyme found in various tissues, including the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles. The test helps in identifying the source of tissue damage or injury. The CK isoenzyme electrophoresis separates the different forms of CK based on their electrical charge. The test involves placing a blood sample on a gel or agarose medium and applying an electric current. The different forms of CK migrate at different rates through the gel, forming distinct bands.
