Age, sex and ethnicity changes in creatine kinase and sex- and ethnicity-specific reference intervals of creatine kinase [PDF]

Clinical Medicine
Background: Creatine kinase (CK) reference intervals (RIs) derived from predominantly White cohorts do not account for well-documented ethnic differences in CK. This misclassification may lead to unnecessary investigations or inappropriate treatment.

Creatine kinase B mediates UCP1-independent beige fat thermogenesis via the futile creatine cycle in mice [PDF]

Molecular Metabolism
Objectives: Creatine kinase B (CKB) is the main isoenzyme driving creatine kinase (CK) activity in classical brown adipocytes. However, the specific CK isoenzyme active in beige adipocytes remains unknown.

Longitudinal Changes of Serum Creatine Kinase and Acute Kidney Injury among Patients with Severe COVID-19

International Journal of Nephrology, 2022
Background. Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a common complication of COVID-19. Several etiologies have been identified, including pigment deposition likely associated with myopathic damage. Nevertheless, the relationship between longitudinal creatine-kinase
