No, the test is non-invasive and painless. It involves lying on a table while the scanner takes images of your bones.
The scanning process typically takes 10-15 minutes. You will need to remain still during the scan.
Results are usually available within a day or two after the scan. Your healthcare provider will discuss the results and any necessary follow-up.
3. CPK TOTAL
High CPK levels can indicate muscle or tissue damage, such as from a heart attack, muscle disease, or brain injury.
No, fasting is generally not required for the CPK Total Test.
Intense exercise or physical activity shortly before the test may temporarily elevate CPK levels.
