Moderate
After myocardial infarction all of the following enzyme levels are high except_____________?
Correct answer: D. Serum ornithine carbamyl transferase (SOCT)
- A. Serum glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase (SGOT)
- B. Lactic Dehydrogenase (LDH)
- C. Creatine phospho kinase (CPK)
- D. Serum ornithine carbamyl transferase (SOCT)
Explanation
Myocardial infarction commonly raises CK, LDH, and SGOT levels because these enzymes are released from injured cardiac muscle. Ornithine carbamoyltransferase is associated mainly with liver injury, not the usual enzyme pattern of infarction.
