Abstract:
A 67-year-old male had prostate adenocarcinoma with liver, bone metastases, iliac lymph nodes invasion ever receive hormone and chemotherapy. He was presented to our emergency department with acute onset of mild dizziness and shortness of breath. Elevated CK (1477 U/L) and elevated CK-MB (1602 U/L) was noticed. Electrocardiogram was unremarkable for myocardial ischemia. CK-isoenzyme lab test (electrophoresis) was obtained, which revealed macro CK type 2 accounting for 6.2% of total CK. Type 2 macro CK syndrome was impressed. The falsely elevated CK-MB and macro CK type 2 in serum may be associated with the patient's worsening metastatic disease.
