Description
Estimated cost for Cardiac Enzyme Panel at general public hospitals in China is about ¥15-40, and at Grade 3A hospitals about ¥20-50, varying by hospital tier and region.
Main Uses
The primary purpose of the Cardiac Enzyme Panel is to diagnose and monitor conditions related to heart damage, especially acute coronary syndromes. It is used in emergency settings to evaluate patients with chest pain, shortness of breath, or other symptoms suggestive of a heart attack. Additionally, it helps in assessing the severity of heart damage and guiding treatment decisions.
Normal Range
The normal range for Cardiac Enzyme Panel (心肌酶谱) varies slightly depending on the specific enzyme and the laboratory. Common indicators include: CK-MB (Creatine Kinase MB isoenzyme): 0-5 ng/mL, Troponin I: 0-0.04 ng/mL, Troponin T: 0-0.01 ng/mL, LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase): 122-222 U/L, AST (Aspartate Aminotransferase): 10-40 U/L.
Low Values - Possible Causes
Low values in a Cardiac Enzyme Panel are less common and usually not clinically significant. However, they can be observed in cases of: 1. Genetic deficiency of certain enzymes, 2. Severe liver disease affecting enzyme production, 3. Malnutrition or vitamin deficiencies impacting enzyme levels, 4. Rare metabolic disorders, 5. Certain medications that may lower enzyme activity.
