MYOGLOBIN
What does MYOGLOBIN measure?
The myoglobin test measures the level of myoglobin, a protein found mainly in heart and skeletal muscle, in the blood. Increased levels may occur when muscle tissue is damaged and may help healthcare professionals assess possible muscle injury, including injury related to the heart, alongside other clinical findings and tests. Results should be interpreted in the context of medical history, symptoms, and other laboratory results.
