Labs that indicate muscle damage that is not necessarily cardiac specific

What is CK

Any condition, injury or event that causes muscle damage and/or interferes with muscle energy production or use increases levels of CK in your blood. For example, intense exercise can increase CK levels. Muscle diseases (myopathies) such as muscular dystrophy can also increase CK levels

Substance formed when red blood cells are broken down. This substance passes through the liver and then is eventually excreted from the body

What is Bilirubin

Bilirubin testing may be done to:

  • Jaundice is caused by high levels of bilirubin. This test is commonly used to measure bilirubin levels in newborns with infant jaundice.
  • Check for a blockage in the bile ducts in the liver or the gallbladder.
  • Look for liver disease, particularly hepatitis, or monitor disease progression.
  • Check on anemia caused by the destruction of red blood cells.
  • See how a treatment is working.
  • Look for a suspected drug toxicity.

Amylase/lipase assays are usually used to evaluate for the presence of acute ...?

What is Pancreatitis 

The pancreas produces both amylase and lipase, as well as many other enzymes.

Amylase helps your body break down starches. Lipase helps your body digest fats.

Inflammation of the pancreas, also called pancreatitis, commonly causes high levels of amylase and lipase in the bloodstream.
