MYOGLOBIN

The myoglobin test measures the level of myoglobin, a protein found in muscle tissue, in the blood or urine. Elevated myoglobin levels can indicate muscle damage, such as rhabdomyolysis, myocardial infarction, or muscle trauma. This test is used to diagnose and monitor conditions causing muscle injury, assess the severity of damage, and guide treatment decisions. The myoglobin test provides valuable information for managing muscle health, ensuring timely intervention, and preventing complications associated with elevated myoglobin levels.
