Calculate CK-MB fraction as a percentage of total CK. CK-MB/total CK above 6% suggests myocardial origin of CK elevation, as skeletal muscle CK-MB is typically below 2-3%. Useful when troponin is equivocal or to confirm cardiac vs. skeletal muscle source of CK elevation.
Enter the values for the scenario you are assessing. Calculate CK-MB fraction as a percentage of total CK. CK-MB/total CK above 6% suggests myocardial origin of CK elevation, as skeletal muscle CK-MB is typically below 2-3%. Useful when troponin is equivocal or to confirm cardiac vs. skeletal muscle source of CK elevation. Use the ck-mb/ck ratio result to inform your calculation.
