| CK-NAC creatine kinase | CK – behind this abbreviation are the creatine kinases, enzymes. These enzymes are responsible for storing energy within muscle cells. That’s one reason they show up in the brain and muscle cells.
In the event of injuries and overloads, creatine kinases escape from the muscle cells and can be detected in the blood. The CK blood values are crucial for the prognosis of heart attacks. By determining these blood values, damage to the muscle tissue can be detected as early as possible. |
