Review
This review highlights that increases in CK-MB and CK-BB can have nonmyocardial causes, which is important for accurate clinical interpretation of these biomarkers.
In the last few years, several conditions giving rise to increases of the MB and BB isoenzymes of creatine kinase, and several electrophoretic variants of creatine kinase, and several electrophoretic variants of creatine kinase have been described. This review summarizes the nonmyocardial causes of increases of both CK‐MB and CK‐BB and also discusses the various electrophoretic variants.
