Photosynthesis is the process used by plants, algae and certain bacteria to harness energy from sunlight and turn it into chemical energy.
In some cases the test may be used to detect muscle conditions such as polymyositis (condition characterized by the inflammation of muscles) or to estimate the degree of muscle damage. Stroke and other forms of brain damage can also result in an elevated creatine kinase level.
The creatine phosphokinase test measures the amount of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) present in the blood. The test is also known as creatine kinase, CPK test, and CK test. Creatine phosphokinase is a specific enzyme found primarily in the heart, skeletal muscle, and brain.The creatine phosphokinase test is performed to assess damage to tissue in the brain, muscle tissue, or heart.he creatine phosphokinase test measures the amount of creatine phosphokinase (CPK) present in the blood.
