Specimen Collection

Quantitative Urine myoglobin analysis is no longer offered as there is no validated method available  Samples will be screened using a sensitive dipstick which detects the presence / absence of both myoglobin and haemoglobin  Suggest serum/plasma myoglobin instead, as raised serum/plasma myoglobin level is better predictive marker of acute renal failure than urine myoglobin level. If further discussion is needed, please contact on-call chemical pathologist via lablink ext 22000
