Elevated levels are non-specific but may indicate tissue injury, hemolysis, infection, or certain cancers.

  • If tissue damage or hemolysis is suspected.
  • If liver, heart, or muscle disease is being evaluated.
  • If monitoring certain cancers or disease activity.
  • If a healthcare provider is investigating unexplained inflammation or cell injury.
  • Fasting: Not required.
  • Avoid strenuous exercise for 24 hours before testing.
  • Inform your healthcare provider about recent injuries or hemolysis.
