| Test Schedule | Myoglobin is unstable and has a poor test methodology. Results based on this methodology can be misleading to the clinician. Therefore, Brant Community Healthcare System will follow the direction of our reference laboratory in Hamilton and no longer offer this test routinely. Special consideration should be made through the Lab Medical director. |
