What is a myoglobin serum test, and why is it done?
The myoglobin serum test measures myoglobin protein levels in the blood, which helps detect:
Muscle injuries (rhabdomyolysis, trauma)
Heart damage (early signs of a heart attack)
What do high myoglobin levels indicate?
Elevated levels suggest:
Heart attack or cardiac arrest
Muscle breakdown from injury, excessive exercise, or certain diseases
