What is the Myoglobin Test?
Myoglobin is a protein found in heart and skeletal muscles. The myoglobin test measures its level in the blood and is used to detect muscle injury, including heart attacks (acute myocardial infarction) or rhabdomyolysis.
What is a Myoglobin Report Format?
A myoglobin report provides the measured concentration of myoglobin in the blood, helping assess muscle damage and cardiac events. It is often used as an early marker in suspected heart attacks.
Tests Included in Myoglobin Report
Test | Description |
Serum Myoglobin | Measures myoglobin levels in the bloodstream to detect muscle injury. |
Key Parts of a Myoglobin Report
Key Part | Description |
Sample Type | Serum or plasma. |
Test Method | Typically immunoassay or chemiluminescent method. |
Measured Value | Myoglobin level reported in ng/mL. |
Reference Range | Indicates normal values for healthy individuals. |
Interpretation | Provides clinical insight into muscle or cardiac damage. |
Normal Range for Myoglobin Report
Gender | Normal Range (ng/mL) |
Adult Male | 28 – 72 ng/mL |
Adult Female | 25 – 58 ng/mL |
Parameters to Consider in Myoglobin Report
Parameter | Interpretation |
Elevated Myoglobin | Suggests muscle damage, heart attack, trauma, or kidney stress. |
Rapid Rise | Often seen within 2–3 hours after muscle injury; useful in early diagnosis. |
Rapid Clearance | Myoglobin returns to normal within 24 hours, so timing of sample is important. |
Correlation with CK-MB/Troponin | Helps differentiate cardiac from skeletal muscle injury. |
Guidelines for Myoglobin Report Format
Guideline | Description |
Timing of Test | Best for early detection of myocardial injury (first 2–12 hours). |
Combined Testing | Should be interpreted with cardiac enzymes (Troponin, CK-MB) and ECG. |
Clinical Context | Correlate with symptoms like chest pain, trauma, or dark-colored urine. |
What Do the Results Mean?
Result Type | Interpretation |
Normal | No significant muscle injury detected. |
Mildly Elevated | Could be due to strenuous exercise, seizures, or intramuscular injections. |
Highly Elevated | Suggests acute muscle breakdown or myocardial infarction—urgent evaluation needed. |
Myoglobin Report Interpretation
Test | Interpretation |
Myoglobin | Early marker of muscle injury or cardiac damage. Needs correlation with clinical findings and other biomarkers for accurate diagnosis. |
