Study of serum creatine kinase and lactate dehydrogenase levels and their correlation in high-voltage electric contact burns

ConclusionsCK-T levels raised significantly in high-voltage electric contact burns and strongly associated with amputation. CK-T levels predict the extent of underlying tissue damage with a prognostic value which can be helpful in therapeutic decisions.Level of evidence: Level I, risk/prognostic study.
