Question

Which of the following does not increase creatine kinase level?

(a) Injuries

(b) Intramuscular injections

(c) Macroamylsemia

(d) Vigorous exercise

This question was addressed to me in class test.

The query is from Clinical Significance of Trypsinogen and Creatine Kinase in division Clinical Enzymology of Enzyme Technology

Answer 1

Correct answer is (c) Macroamylsemia

To explain I would say: Macroamylsemia results due to an increase in plasma amylase with a decrease in urinary excretion, and not creatine kinase. Injuries, intramuscular injections and vigorous exercise increase the creatine kinase levels.
