Creatine kinase isoenzyme MB in myocardial infarction: methods compared

J Griffiths, G Handschuh

    Clinical Chemistry

    PubMed
    Summary

    Diagnosing myocardial infarction requires accurate creatine kinase MB isoenzyme measurement. Column-chromatographic methods showed significant diagnostic errors due to incomplete elution, impacting clinical decisions.

    Area of Science:

    • Clinical Biochemistry
    • Diagnostic Cardiology
    • Enzyme Assays

    Background:

    • Accurate identification of creatine kinase MB isoenzyme (CK-MB) is crucial for diagnosing myocardial infarction.
    • Various laboratory methods exist for CK-MB assessment, including electrophoretic and chromatographic techniques.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To compare the diagnostic efficacy of two electrophoretic and three column-chromatographic methods for CK-MB in serum.
    • To evaluate the reliability of these methods in the context of myocardial infarction diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Serum samples were analyzed using two distinct electrophoretic techniques.
    • Three different column-chromatographic methods were employed for CK-MB activity assessment.
    • Comparative analysis of diagnostic accuracy and error rates between the techniques.

    Main Results:

    • No single method was deemed absolutely definitive for myocardial infarction diagnosis.
    • Column-chromatographic techniques exhibited unexpectedly high diagnostic errors.
    • Incomplete elution during column chromatography was identified as the primary cause of these errors.

    Conclusions:

    • Electrophoretic methods may offer greater reliability for CK-MB assessment compared to the evaluated column-chromatographic techniques.
    • Clinical laboratories should be aware of potential inaccuracies in column-chromatographic CK-MB assays.
    • Further optimization of elution protocols is necessary for chromatographic methods to improve diagnostic accuracy.
