Term:increased circulating creatine kinase level

Accession:MP:0010090 term browser browse the term
Definition:an elevation in the concentration in the blood of an enzyme that catalyzes the reversible transfer of creatine to phosphocreatine
Comment:There is ambiguity in the literature regarding the terms creatinine kinase and creatine kinase. Most resources insist that creatine kinase is correct. See PMID:17174558 and PMID:14624200 not to mention Wikipedia. Creatine kinase is an enzyme found in the heart, brain, skeletal muscle, and other tissues. Increased amounts of CK are released into the blood when there is muscle damage. The small amount of CK that is normally in the blood comes primarily from skeletal muscles.
Synonyms:exact_synonym: elevated circulating CK level;   elevated circulating CPK level;   elevated circulating creatine kinase level;   elevated circulating creatine phosphokinase level;   elevated circulating creatinine kinase level;   elevated circulating phospho-creatine kinase level;   increased circulating CK level;   increased circulating CPK level;   increased circulating creatine phosphokinase level;   increased circulating creatinine kinase level;   increased circulating phospho-creatine kinase level
