  • Title: Serum enzymes in disease of skeletal muscle.
    Author: Rosalki SB.
    Journal: Clin Lab Med; 1989 Dec; 9(4):767-81. PubMed ID: 2686911.
    Abstract:
    Creatine kinase is the serum enzyme that shows the greatest frequency of abnormality in skeletal muscle disease. Changes in this enzyme in sex-linked dystrophy (Duchenne's and Becker's) patients and carriers; in patients with other dystrophies; and in inflammatory, toxic, endocrine, and traumatic myopathy are reviewed. The changing role of serum enzyme measurements as a consequence of newer methods of genetic diagnosis is also considered.
