Thank you for your question. There are three CPK (creatine kinase) isoenzymes present in the body. CPK-1 found mostly in the brain and lungs and higher than normal level is associated with the pathology of brain and lungs. Similarly, higher CPK-2 level is associated with heart pathology. Additionally, CPK-3 is associated with muscle inflammation or injury. Therefore, i would recommend you consult with your doctor for a better insight of the situation to know which CPK is elevated in your case. Hope this helps.
