Biochemical Blood Testing
source: Ronald G. Haller, MD
Blood tests commonly run are creatine kinase (CK), ammonia (NH3), lactate, glucose,
potassium and total hemoglobin (THb).
 | Creatine kinase - used to identify muscle breakdown.
| Ammonia - aids in the diagnosis of defects in muscle glycogenolysis.
| Lactate - aids in the diagnosis of defects in muscle glycogenolysis.
| Pyruvate - useful for diagnosing metabolic blocks in skeletal muscle metabolism due to enzyme deficiencies in the glycolytic or respiratory pathways.
