What is it about?

This article discusses the change in myoglobin (MYO) in HHS and DKA, which is associated with the outcome of patients. In addition, we linked the various sources of MYO with the outcomes of patients, the type of diabetes, and different genders, and revealed different survival rates.

Why is it important?

Because DKA and HHS are acute, severe complications of diabetes, this article helps physicians judge the sources of MYO that may become in HHS and DKA and provides possible relationships with patient outcomes. Through the analyses, we may use MYO combined with its source to acknowledge patients' conditions and take early action.

Perspectives

Though the MYO is not a specific biomarker of cardiovascular diseases, it can also help physicians to monitor a patient' progress in severe conditions.
