Diagnostic utility of creatine kinase elevation in the routine biochemical profile in cats

Abstract: Creatine kinase (CK) is a muscle enzyme that is very sensitive to muscle damage. Therefore, serum CK is measured particularly to confirm suspected myopathy. Since 2013, this enzyme has been included in the routine chemistry profile in our hospital. Soon thereafter, the subjective impression developed that its elevation did not correlate to and was not explainable with the actual clinical problem. Therefore, the aim of this retrospective study was to investigate in which clinical cases the CK elevation was adeq… Show more

“…Two cats from the present study had a mildly elevated CK activity, which could have been caused by restraint during blood sampling 34 . An association between anaplasmosis and myopathy, as rarely seen in humans 35 , has not been reported in veterinary medicine so far.…”
