| Popis: | Purpose: Several reports have documented that the MB isoenzyme of creatine kinase is present in prostatic tissue. However, since it has been shown that lower urinary tract manipulations, including transurethral prostatectomy, do not significantly increase serum creatine kinase isoenzyme MB levels, such elevations, which are found in patients after prostatic surgery, are believed to be specific for myocardial infarction. We examined whether cryosurgical ablation of the prostate altered serum creatine kinase or isoenzyme MB levels.Materials and Methods: In 81 consecutive patients undergoing routine cryosurgical ablation of the prostate serum levels of creatine kinase and creatine kinase isoenzyme MB were measured from peripheral blood specimens drawn preoperatively, in the recovery room and at 8 and 24 hours postoperatively. Postoperative electrocardiograms were compared to the preoperative study.Results: In 72 of 81 patients (89%) significant elevations in creatine kinase and creatine kinase isoenz... |
