A member asked:
Why would troponin and myoglobin show up at high levels in my blood work? what does ckmb or mb stand for in blood work?_
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Talk to your doctor: Troponin and CKMB are both cardiac enzymes released into the bloodstream when there has been damage to heart muscle and are generally used as markers for heart attacks. Myoglobin comes from regular skeletal muscle when it is damaged and appears in your urine. If your total CK is in the 1000s then it might artificially raise the cardiac markers but can damage kidneys, either way see a doctor now!
