[Comparative determination of creatine kinase activity in the cerebrospinal fluid and in the blood of health cattle].
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) was obtained by puncture of the canalis vertebralis at the lumbosacral foramen. The activities of creatine kinase (CK) in CSF and plasma samples of 68 healthy cattle of different age and breeds were analysed. No significant correlation between CK activities of CSF and plasma was found. The obtained CSF were classified macroscopically into groups of clear-colourless, flaky-colourless, and bloody-flaky samples. The CK activities of clear-colourless CSF showed a normal distribution and were used for further analysis. The range of standard values of CK activities in CSF (0.2-18.7 U/I) was defined after identification of runaways and narrowing of random sample to 95%.
