Myoglobin Serum Test
Introduction to the Myoglobin Serum Test
The Myoglobin Serum Test is a vital diagnostic tool used to assess muscle health by measuring the level of myoglobin in the blood. Myoglobin is a protein found in muscle tissues that helps store and transport oxygen. When muscle damage occurs, myoglobin is released into the bloodstream, making this test essential for diagnosing various muscle disorders.
What the Test Measures
This test specifically measures the concentration of myoglobin in the serum. Elevated levels may indicate muscle damage due to conditions such as myocardial infarction, rhabdomyolysis, or severe muscle injury.
Who Should Consider This Test?

- Severe muscle pain or weakness
- Dark-colored urine
