I had a patient today with a trop of 353 which was an improvement from the greater than 600 he had in the days before. I have never seen a trop this high and I was just wondering if anyone else has and what was the number?

41 is the highest i have ever seen.

Specializes in med-surg.

Troponin levels are based on a calculation. therefore an 0.6ng/ml can be converted in three calculations and would pretty much be based on the weight of the patient in kg. So a 0.6ng/ml could also be approximately be 600.  Sorry I don't have the calculations on hand. I know my spouse had a trop of  Two thousand.  I think there is a standard measurement. 

Trooponin I hs my first one on 11-3-22 at 1122pm was 27.21, the next draw at 0202am 12-1-22 was 1386.07 

I had miocarditis. My troponin level was 2600. I felt fine. Released the next day with a diagnosis of a heart attack, which was false.
