What is Myoglobin, Serum?
This blood test measures the level of myoglobin, a protein found in muscle tissue. When muscles are damaged, myoglobin is released into the bloodstream.
Why is this test important?
Elevated myoglobin levels can indicate muscle injury, such as from a heart attack, severe trauma, or certain muscle diseases. It's an early but non-specific marker of muscle damage.
How to Prepare
No special preparation required.
