Abstract In the last few years, several conditions giving rise to increases of the MB and BB isoenzymes of creatine kinase, and several electrophoretic variants of creatine kinase, and several electrophoretic variants of creatine kinase have been described. This review summarizes the nonmyocardial causes of increases of both CK‐MB and CK‐BB and also discusses the various electrophoretic variants.
