Total serum creatine phosphokinase depends only on severity of electrical and flame burns. Serum creatine phosphokinase is a predictor of upper limb amputation in patients with electrical injury. Total serum creatine phosphokinase ≥ 950 IU/L is significant for upper limb amputation (in CK-MB fraction within the reference values).
