Abstract
Creatine kinase (CK) and CK isoenzymes are known to fluctuate in labor. Reliable information about the longitudinal changes of CK and CK isoenzymes during labor is sparse. Nevertheless, they have been used to direct care in women with cardiopulmonary disease and preterm labor requiring tocolysis. This study evaluated fluctuations of CK and its isoenzymes longitudinally across labor in 49 women. Blood samples were obtained at 33 to 34 weeks' estimated gestational age, on admission in labor at 3 cm or less dilation, 8 cm to complete dilation, and postpartum in the recovery room. Specimens were analyzed for total CK, CK-MM, CK-MB, and CK-BB activity. CK levels increased for all peripartum patients (p
