Cardiac / Muscle
Also known as: Myoglobin blood test, Myoglobin, Serum
Seek immediate medical attention if you experience severe muscle pain, weakness, dark urine, or symptoms like chest pain, shortness of breath, or dizziness, as these could indicate serious muscle or heart damage.
Myoglobin is a protein in your heart and other muscles. This test checks how much myoglobin is in your blood. Muscles release myoglobin when they are hurt.
Your doctor orders this test to look for new damage to your heart or other muscles. It helps them see if a muscle has been hurt.
Reference ranges can vary between different laboratories and may depend on factors like age, sex, and the specific method used for testing.
