Myoglobin, Serum, near me in Gurgaon

The Myoglobin, Serum, test measures the amount of myoglobin circulating in the blood. Under normal conditions, serum myoglobin levels are very low or almost undetectable. When skeletal or cardiac muscles are injured, myoglobin is released rapidly into the bloodstream, often appearing within a few hours of damage. Elevated serum myoglobin levels indicate muscle breakdown or acute injury and may be seen in conditions such as crush injuries, severe trauma, myocardial infarction (heart attack), or other muscle-related disorders. Persistently high levels can also increase the risk of kidney complications. In contrast, low or normal levels are considered healthy and suggest that no significant muscle or heart muscle damage has occurred.
