what is crestor?
CPK, also known as CK and Creatine phosphokinase, is more formally called Creatine Kinase. This is a test performed to determine whether or not the individual has had a heart attack. Higher levels of CK indicate injured muscles or heart cells. Very heavy exercise, excessive drinking, injury to person via car accident or fall or etc., and drugs that lower cholesterol can all increase the level of CK in the blood.
CK levels can be increased by drugs such as Crestor because it damages muscle. Crestor is a cholesterol-lowering medication or statin.
creatine phosphate kinase. it increases in heart disease & muscular disease.
In a CBC (complete blood count), WBC stands for White Blood Cells.
if it 1000 iu then it indicate heart trouble or muscles problem.
The abbreviation of "Eos" in a Complete Blood Count Test with Diff (CBC with diff or CbC w diff) stands for eosinophils, an immature white blood cell (WBC).
EO is an abbreviation commonly found in blood tests which stands for eosinophil count. This checks for the percentage of white blood cells that are active, which can determine diseases, allergies, and other medical conditions.

CPK is an enzyme called creatine kinase. It is mostly found in the heart, brain and muscle tissues. When there is trauma or damage to those tissues the enzyme is released into the bloodstream where it shows up as an elevated CPK on bloodwork. CPK is often elevated after a heavy workout or any type of crushing injury. The CPK is often elevated soon after a heart attack. Some muscle degenerating diseases also can be detected by a constantly high CPK level. It is up to your physician to determine the significance of the result. CPK can further be broken down into specific sub-enzymes called iso-enzymes. One is heart specific, one is muscle specific and so on. So if a CPK level is elevated and the cause is not known, testing for iso-enzymes can indicate what body tissue the CPK is coming from.
On a blood test results MO stands for Monocytes and EO stands for Eosinophils. In addition, you may see BASO, white blood cell count.
cpk enzymes are found in cardiac muscle, skeletal muscle and the brain, cpk will be elevated 10 to 25 times the normal level following a myocardial infarction, they will also be elevated after a trauma to skeletal muscle and in progressive muscular dystrophy, cpk can be elevated after strenuous exercise.

Creatine Phosphokinase
Creatinine-phosphate-kinase is an enzyme found in heart and muscle. Normal blood CPK range is 38-174 units/L
A PUBS test is a diagnostic test that examines blood from the fetus to detect fetal abnormalities. PUBS stands for Percutaneous Umbilical Cord Blood Sampling.
The blood test code PLT represents the platelet blood test, otherwise known as platelet counts. TIBC stands for total iron binding capacity. The TIBC test assesses the amount of iron in the blood supply.
