Hi Beth and thanks for the update. I do suffer from ongoing right side pain but don't know what it is. I thought the group might like this to understand your cpks CPK isoenzymes testEmail this page to a friendShare on facebookShare on twitterBookmark & SharePrinter-friendly version The CPK isoenzymes test measures the different forms of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) in the blood. CPK is an enzyme found mainly in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscle. How the Test is Performed A blood sample is needed. This may be taken from a vein. The test is called a venipuncture. If you are in the hospital, this test may be repeated over 2 or 3 days. A significant rise or fall in the total CPK or CPK isoenzymes can help your health care provider diagnosis certain conditions. How to Prepare for the Test Usually, no special preparation is necessary. Tell your doctor about all the medications you are taking. Certain medications can interfere with test results. Drugs that can increase CPK measurements include the following: Alcohol Amphotericin B Certain anesthetics Cocaine Fibrate drugs Statins Steroids such as dexamethasone here is the site http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003504.htm In a message dated 7/2/2013 7:11:02 P.M.
