Urinary myoglobin (UMb)

In normal people, there is very little myoglobin in the urine. When muscle tissue damage and metabolic disorders are caused by various reasons, a large amount of myoglobin is produced. Due to the small molecular weight of myoglobin, it is easy to be filtered by the renal tubule to cause myoglobinuria. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: normal. Normal value: Urinary myoglobin (UMb): 0-44mg/L Above normal: (1) Hereditary McArdle syndrome (muscle phosphorylase-deficient glycogen storage disease). (2) ischemic acute myocardial infarction, arterial occlusion. (3) Excessive physical activity marching myoglobinuria, jumping syndrome, anterior tibial syndrome, electroshock, convulsions, seizures, etc. (4) Metabolic myoglobinuria Haff disease, alcoholism, sea snake bite, carbon monoxide poisoning, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypokalemia, hyperthermia and systemic infection, barbiturate poisoning, etc. (5) Squeeze syndrome. (6) Progressive muscle disease active period (50% of patients) dermatomyositis, polymyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus and the like. negative: normal. Positive: (1) Hereditary McArdle syndrome (muscle phosphorylase-deficient glycogen storage disease). (2) ischemic acute myocardial infarction, arterial occlusion. (3) Excessive physical activity marching myoglobinuria, jumping syndrome, anterior tibial syndrome, electroshock, convulsions, seizures, etc. (4) Metabolic myoglobinuria Haff disease, alcoholism, sea snake bite, carbon monoxide poisoning, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypokalemia, hyperthermia and systemic infection, barbiturate poisoning, etc. (5) Squeeze syndrome. (6) Progressive muscle disease active period (50% of patients) dermatomyositis, polymyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus and the like. Tips: Do not exercise vigorously, maintain a good diet and work. The middle part of the urine is taken for inspection. Women in the menstrual period are not suitable for this examination. Normal value Qualitative negative. Quantitative <4mg / L. Clinical significance Positive (or elevated) (1) Hereditary McArdle syndrome (muscle phosphorylase-deficient glycogen storage disease). (2) ischemic acute myocardial infarction, arterial occlusion. (3) Excessive physical activity marching myoglobinuria, jumping syndrome, anterior tibial syndrome, electroshock, convulsions, seizures, etc. (4) Metabolic myoglobinuria Haff disease, alcoholism, sea snake bite, carbon monoxide poisoning, diabetic ketoacidosis, hypokalemia, hyperthermia and systemic infection, barbiturate poisoning, etc. (5) Squeeze syndrome. (6) Progressive muscle disease active period (50% of patients) dermatomyositis, polymyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus and the like. High results may be diseases: polymyositis, compression syndrome results may be positive disease: polymyositis, compression syndrome considerations Before the test: prohibit strenuous exercise, maintain a good diet and work schedule, stop the licorice, raw stomach ketone, amphetamine, amphotericin B, barbital and other drugs one week before the test. Drink alcohol for 3 days before the test. At the time of examination: a part of the urine is discharged first to wash away the bacteria remaining in the urethra and the anterior urethra, and then the middle part of the urine is taken for inspection. Inspection process The urine of the subject was collected and detected by enzymatic method. Not suitable for the crowd Not suitable for the crowd: women in the menstrual period, cold patients. Adverse reactions and risks No.
