Patient's question:
The baby was born prematurely and received vaccinations at around 50 days. The doctor reviewed the discharge summary and said that the baby had previously been diagnosed with elevated creatine kinase and creatine kinase MB levels (1083 and 71, respectively), and thus was not eligible for vaccination. The doctor recommended waiting until after prenatal check-ups to get vaccinated. However, the baby is too young for a venous blood draw for further examination. Therefore, I would like to consult about the normal values for neonatal creatine kinase and phosphocreatine isoenzyme. In my situation, can the baby still receive vaccinations?Previous treatment and outcomes:

I would like to consult about the normal values for neonatal creatine kinase and phosphocreatine isoenzyme. In my situation, can the baby still receive vaccinations? If a retest is needed, how should it be conducted? Is it a blood draw?
Doctor's answer:
The isoenzymes of creatine kinase are relatively significant values. The normal range is 0 to 25. Newborns, who are relatively in a hypoxic state, may have elevated levels of this value. For retesting, venous blood should be drawn, and it should be done in a fasting state. Once the value drops to the normal range, vaccination can be administered. The above suggestions are for the question "What is the normal value of creatine kinase and phosphocreatine isoenzymes in newborns?" It is hoped that this will assist you, and wish you good health!
