The most common tests performed to evaluate kidney function are blood urea nitrogen and cre-atinine.

Answer to Question 2

The most common CPK enzyme test is CPK-2 (CPK-MB) which is released from the heart fol-lowing myocardial infarction. Peak levels occur sometime between 12 and 24 hr following injury.
