About this test

  • Detects early signs of muscle or organ damage
  • Useful in evaluating unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, or pain
  • Supports diagnosis of conditions involving inflammation or metabolic stress
  • May indicate cardiac events, liver issues, or strenuous physical strain
  • Helps monitor recovery after injury, surgery, or intense physical activity
  • Valuable in investigating chronic conditions affecting muscle, heart, or liver
  • Often included in comprehensive health panels to assess overall cell health
  • Can provide insight even in the absence of obvious symptoms

Recommended for individuals experiencing unexplained muscle pain, weakness, fatigue, or signs of inflammation. Ideal for those recovering from injury, surgery, or intense physical activity, or anyone monitoring conditions that may affect the muscles, heart, or liver. Also suitable for individuals taking a proactive approach to identifying early signs of tissue stress or cell damage as part of a comprehensive health check.

  • Muscle injury or breakdown (e.g. rhabdomyolysis)
  • Liver damage or inflammation
  • Heart attack or cardiac muscle stress
  • Strenuous physical activity or overtraining
  • Autoimmune or inflammatory muscle disorders (e.g. myositis)
  • Certain types of infections affecting muscle tissue
  • Recovery after surgery or physical trauma
  • Metabolic or mitochondrial disorders impacting cell integrity
