Test Details
Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissues that is responsible for storing and transporting oxygen. The myoglobin serum test is a blood test that measures the level of myoglobin in the bloodstream. The myoglobin serum test is typically ordered to evaluate muscle damage or injury.
When muscle tissue is damaged, such as in a heart attack or severe muscle injury, myoglobin is released into the bloodstream. Elevated levels of myoglobin in the blood can indicate muscle damage or injury.
The test is usually performed by taking a blood sample from a vein in the arm. The blood sample is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results of the myoglobin serum test are typically available within a few hours to a few days.
It is important to note that the myoglobin serum test is not specific to a particular condition or disease. Elevated myoglobin levels can be seen in various conditions, including heart attacks, rhabdomyolysis (a condition characterized by rapid breakdown of muscle tissue), and muscle trauma or injury.
If the myoglobin serum test shows elevated levels of myoglobin, further testing may be needed to determine the underlying cause of the muscle damage or injury. Treatment will depend on the specific condition or disease identified. It is important to consult with a healthcare professional for interpretation of myoglobin serum test results and appropriate management of any underlying condition.
