Elevated myoglobin levels in trauma patients correlate significantly with the development of coagulopathy, systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and acute kidney injury (AKI). In a study of 312 patients, myoglobin emerged as a notable independent risk factor for these complications, particularly AKI, with a predictive accuracy of 80.4%. The research underscores the importance of routine muscle injury indicator testing upon admission to enhance early detection and intervention in trauma care.
