# Myeloperoxidase

> Myeloperoxidase is measured with a standard blood draw; no fasting is needed. A typical reference range is 0.000 – 470 pmol/L. At TestWell it's $44.99 all-in as Myeloperoxidase (MPO), results in 3–5 business days, drawn at Quest. An out-of-range result is a prompt to look closer, not a diagnosis.

Also known as: myeloperoxidase, mpo, myeloperoxidase (mpo), cardio iq myeloperoxidase (mpo).

## What does Myeloperoxidase measure?

An enzyme released by activated white blood cells inside inflamed artery walls. Elevated MPO indicates active vascular inflammation and has been associated with plaque more prone to rupture.

## What is the normal range for Myeloperoxidase?

| Population | Reference range |
| --- | --- |
| age 18+ | 0.000 – 470 pmol/L |

Reference intervals differ slightly between labs; the range printed on your report is the one to interpret against. Ranges are usually set so 95% of healthy people fall inside them.

## What does a high Myeloperoxidase mean?

Suggests active arterial inflammation; interpreted alongside hs-CRP, ApoB, Lp(a) and lipoprotein particles rather than alone.
