Test Code

CPK-NAC (Creatine Phosphokinase – N-Acetyl Cysteine method) measures the total activity of the creatine phosphokinase enzyme in blood. CPK is found mainly in skeletal muscles, cardiac muscle, and brain tissue, and its levels rise when muscle cells are damaged.
This test is widely used to evaluate muscle injury, myopathies, myocardial infarction (heart attack), rhabdomyolysis, muscular dystrophy, seizures, trauma, and drug-induced muscle damage (e.g., statins). The NAC method is a standardized, IFCC-recommended technique that improves assay accuracy and stability. Results should be interpreted along with clinical findings and, when required, CPK-MB or Troponin tests.
