Myoglobin, Urine near me in Indore

The Myoglobin, Urine test measures the amount of myoglobin excreted in urine. Normally, urine does not contain detectable levels of myoglobin. When muscles are damaged, myoglobin is released into the bloodstream, filtered by the kidneys, and passed into the urine.

High urine myoglobin levels indicate significant muscle injury or breakdown, commonly seen in rhabdomyolysis, crush injuries, or strenuous physical exertion. Persistently elevated levels may suggest ongoing muscle damage and increase the risk of acute kidney injury. Low or absent levels are considered normal and suggest no major muscle breakdown.
