Myoglobin analysis - a marker of muscle and myocardial damage

Myoglobin is a marker of damage to skeletal muscles and myocardium (heart muscle), determined in various pathological conditions

Elevated myoglobin levels help doctors make a diagnosis of the following diseases:

  • inflammatory muscle diseases (myositis, dermatomyositis, polymyositis);
  • hereditary diseases characterized by degeneration of skeletal muscles (Duchenne muscular dystrophy, Landouzy-Dejerine myopathy, etc.);
  • autoimmune diseases (myasthenia gravis);
  • rheumatoid arthritis.

When significant amounts enter the bloodstream, myoglobin can damage the kidneys, causing acute kidney failure

This is why a myoglobin test is necessary for people with serious clinical conditions to determine the likelihood of kidney damage:⠀

  • polytrauma;
  • convulsions of various etiologies;
  • deep thermal and chemical burns;
  • long-term compression syndrome (crash syndrome);
  • abuse of amphetamines and alcohol.

In the laboratories of "KDL OLIMP" you can take the test "Determination of myoglobin in blood serum by immunochemiluminescence"
