This CK-MB result is either CK-BB or one of the two macro-ck's, type 1 or
type 2. This can be identified bt CK- electrophoresis.

Subject: CKMB problem
A recent request for CKMB revealed a total CK of 778 IU/L and a CKMB of 1449
IU/L (both were measured using Roche reagents). Other tests and controls in
the
batch did not reveal any such anomalies.
I have a vague recollection of this sort of effect possibly being caused by
binding of the enzyme to an immunoglobulin.
Any other ideas?
