Abstract

Low values of serum creatine phospbokinase (CPK) were found in a group of 27 patients suffering from acute viral hepatitis. The values were significantly lower than CPK values in a group of 25 patients with extra hepatic obstructive jaundice (23.3 ± 32.1 versus 163 ± 43 U/L, p < 0.001). CPK values in the hepatitis group when recovered (6 months after hospitalization) were much higher than the mean CPK levels in the same group during the acute illness (178 ± 28 versus 23.3 ± 32.1 U/L, p < 0.001) and were the same as a control group of 26 healthy volunteers (179 ± 28 versus 179 ± 20.9 U/L). Similar results were found when the groups were divided into separate male and female groups. Serum CPK values, thus, were found to be a useful diagnostic tool to distinguish between patients with intrahepatic jaundice due to acute viral hepatitis and patients with extra hepatic obstructive jaundice.
