ABSTRACT
Creatine phosphokinase (CPK) is an enzyme expressed by various tissues and cell. Transient elevation of CPK in vomiting due to various causes is unusual and only few cases have been reported till now. It is believed that elevation of creatine phosphokinase is due to the vigorous contractions of abdominal muscles and diaphgram during expulsive phase of vomiting as well as trauma on musculature due to violent vomiting We are reporting a case of transient elevation of CPK due to violent vomiting caused by sliding hiatal hernia.
Keywords: Creatine phosphokinase, vomiting, hiatal hernia.
