Above the range
What causes a high Troponin T?
Normal range < 0.01 (assay-dependent) ng/mL (< 0.01 µg/L SI). Specimen: Serum or plasma. See the full Troponin T reference page for critical values and nursing considerations.
What is the normal range for Troponin T?
The standard teaching reference range for Troponin T is < 0.01 (assay-dependent) ng/mL in conventional units, or < 0.01 µg/L in SI units. This value is measured in serum or plasma.
| Specimen | Serum or plasma |
|---|---|
| Conventional range | < 0.01 (assay-dependent) ng/mL |
| SI range | < 0.01 µg/L |
| Critical value | Elevation above the assay's 99th percentile indicates myocardial injury |
