Macro-creatine kinase and macro-lactate dehydrogenase in a girl with ulcerative colitis.
We report the case of a girl affected by ulcerative colitis with high serum levels of creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase due to the presence of macroenzymes. Our observation suggests that the knowledge of this association may be helpful when evaluating ulcerative colitis patients with unexplained isolated elevation of one or more serum enzyme activities.
