Cardiac enzymes - Cloverport


Posted: Sep 15, 2010

Would someone please tell me who is correct?  I have always transcribed CK-MB index.  A MT friend of mine says it should be CK-MB, index, as they are 2 different things.  TIA. 

you are correct with CK-MB index - .

.

Doctors dictate it both ways, with and without - sn

index in my experience. If it is dictated with a value, then it would be CK-MB index, i.e. CK-MB index XXX. There is a CK index, cardiac index, etc. I would just transcribe it as dictated.

Indeed, but that wasn't the question - sm

Indeed, docs dictate with or without the word "index".

The OP was asking if "index" was a separate test from CK-MB.
