1
New cards

Cardiac Functions: Creatine Kinase (CK)

  • Measures the level of CK enzyme in blood

  • Used to monitor elevations in cardiac and skeletal muscle conditions


2
New cards

Cardiac Functions: Creatine Kinase-MB (CKMB)

  • Isoenzyme of CK (specific form of CK enzyme found mostly in heart muscle)

  • > 6% of total CK indicates acute myocardial infarction


3
New cards

Cardiac Functions: Troponin I (cTNI)

  • Specific marker for myocardial infarction

  • Distinguishable from skeletal injury


4
New cards

Pancreatic Enzymes: Amylase

  • Elevations indicate pancreatic disorders


5
New cards

Pancreatic Enzymes: Lipase (LPS)

  • More specific than Amylase

  • Elevations indicate pancreatic disorder


6
New cards

Hormones: Human Chorionic Gonadotropin (hCG)

  • Hormone made by the placenta during pregnancy

  • Elevations in urine/serum testing indicate pregnancy


7
New cards

Hormones: Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH)

  • Thyroid function: When there is inadequate thyroid hormone in circulation, TSH secretion increases to stimulate increased thyroid hormone production


8
New cards

Hormones: Triiodothyronine (T3)

  • Most biologically active thyroid hormone

  • Decreases/elevations indicate thyroid diseases/conditions


9
New cards

Hormones: Thyroxine (T4)

  • Decreases/elevations indicate thyroid diseases/conditions
