Creatine Kinase (CK) or Creatine Phosphokinase (CPK) is a cellular enzyme found mainly in cardiac and skeletal muscle. CK/CPK is usually elevated following acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or skeletal muscle damage. UV-test. Enzymatic photometric assay.
Low levels of these enzymes and proteins are normally found in your blood". Meaning for elevated CPK and CK (cardiac enzyme), the ICD code is 790.5 and for Elevated Troponin (it is a protein, not enzyme), the ICD code is 790.99. Hope this helps and thanks for this thread, it gives a clear picture.

What about 794.4? I work for Transplant program in Puerto Rico, and i use code 794.4 for elevated creatinine levels. Shouldn't you check with the lab tech to verify that the test they are running is specific to what you are coding?
