Specimens: | 500 µl Serum (s) |
Preanalytics/Notes: | Limited stability of the sample (8 hours at room temperature), if required freeze and dispatch deep-frozen. Patients receiving high doses of biotin (> 5 mg / day) should be sampled at least 8 hours after the last application, as high levels of biotin may interfere with the test system. |

Interpretation: |
TnT is largely cardiac more… TnT is largely cardiac muscle-specific and very sensitively indicates myocardial damages. Criteria for an acute myocardial infarction in accordance with ESC and AHH: 1. TnT above 99 percentile (>0.014 ng/ml)2. Increase and/or decrease of the TnT concentration 3. At least one additional clinical criterion (ischemic symptom, ECG changes (ST segment), development of pathological Q waves inter alia)Increased in the case of:
In the absence of clinical ischemic symptoms, other causes of a TnT increase have to be searched for: Traumas (contusion, catheterisation, operation), cardiotoxicity of therapeutic agents, sepsis, myocarditis, pericarditis, pulmonary embolism and othersPatients with terminal renal insufficiency have increased basal TnT concentrations. |
Further tests: | Total CK and CK-MB |
