LaboratoryCreatine kinase.MB/Creatine kinase.total [Ratio] in Serum or Plasma
Definition
Sometimes called "CK-MB mass/total CK activity-ratio" this parameter is now often referred to as the relative CK-MB index. The calculation: 100 x (CK-MB in ug/L/CK in U/L). The parameter is now reported as percent.
