Testing begins with total creatine kinase analysis (CK). If the total CK activity is below 100 U/L, testing is complete.
If total CK activity is 100 U/L or greater, then isoenzyme electrophoresis (CKE) will be performed at an additional charge.
CK: Photometric, Creatine Phosphate + ADP
CKE: Electrophoresis, Densitometry
