Understanding LPIN1 Gene Myoglobinuria: Your Path to Answers
If you’ve been struggling with unexplained muscle pain, weakness, or noticing dark-coloured urine after physical activity, you’re not alone. These symptoms can be frightening and confusing, but the LPIN1 Gene Myoglobinuria test provides the clarity you need to move forward with confidence.
What This Test Detects
The LPIN1 Gene Myoglobinuria test uses advanced Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) technology to identify mutations in your LPIN1 gene. This gene plays a crucial role in muscle energy metabolism, and when it’s not functioning properly, it can lead to acute recurrent myoglobinuria – a condition where muscle tissue breaks down rapidly, releasing myoglobin into your bloodstream.
Myoglobin is a protein that can damage your kidneys when present in high amounts, making early detection essential for protecting your long-term health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
This test is particularly important if you experience:
- Unexplained muscle pain or weakness, especially after exercise
- Dark brown or tea-coloured urine following physical activity
- Family history of similar muscle-related symptoms
- Recurrent episodes of muscle breakdown without clear cause
- Elevated creatine kinase levels in blood tests
If these symptoms sound familiar, genetic testing can provide the answers that routine medical exams might miss.

Getting tested for LPIN1 Gene Myoglobinuria offers several crucial benefits:
- Prevent Kidney Damage: Early detection helps manage the condition before myoglobin causes permanent kidney injury
- Personalised Treatment: Knowing your genetic status allows for tailored exercise and medication plans
- Family Planning: Understand inheritance patterns to make informed decisions about family health
