This test measures the level of creatine kinase, an enzyme found primarily in the heart, brain, and skeletal muscles. Elevated CK levels can indicate muscle stress, injury, or inflammation and may be used to assess overall muscle health and recovery. Monitoring CK can provide valuable insight into physical strain, exercise impact, and metabolic balance.

Fasting is not required for this test.
