The elevation of Creatine kinase in acute pancreatitis: a case report

Abstract

Creatine Kinase (CK/CK-MB) testing is an essential lab test approaching patients with chest or epigastric pain. we report a 38-year-old man with acute pancreatitis and elevated CK/CK-MB level without myocardial involvement. Acute pancreatitis may be considered as a false positive cause of CK/CK-MB test in patients presenting with chest pain.
