Physiological Reference Ranges

The ranges below represent standard adult physiological values. Your laboratory's printed reference range always takes precedence.

Adults (general)

0 – 5 ng/mL

Adult females

0 – 4 ng/mL

Adult males

0 – 5 ng/mL

Common alternative units:

What does a low result mean?

A reading below the cutoff provides solid confirmation of healthy, unstrained cardiac tissue.

What does a high result mean?

A mild elevation can occur after strenuous endurance events, marathon running, or extreme muscular soreness.

Questions ready for your doctor

Bring these questions to your next consultation to discuss with your healthcare practitioner:

  • Could recent strenuous sports or athletic training account for this reading?
  • Did companion high-sensitivity troponin remain within reassuring baseline ranges?
  • Is repeat testing after physical rest indicated?
