1 Parameters Included

The Aldolase test measures the level of the enzyme aldolase in the blood. Aldolase is an enzyme involved in the breakdown of glucose (sugar) to produce energy. It’s present in various tissues throughout the body, especially in muscles (including skeletal and cardiac muscle), liver, and red blood cells. Elevated levels of aldolase in the blood can indicate tissue damage or disease involving these organs.

What is Aldolase?

Aldolase is part of the glycolytic pathway, which is the process your body uses to convert glucose into energy.

The Aldolase test typically measures the total aldolase in the blood, but it doesn’t distinguish between these isoenzymes. However, the distribution of aldolase isoenzymes can help doctors interpret the results, especially in specific conditions.

Normal and Abnormal Results

• Normal range: The reference range for aldolase can vary between laboratories, but it is usually around 1.0 to 7.5 U/L (units per liter).
• Elevated aldolase levels could indicate muscle damage, liver disease, or other related conditions. How high the level is can help doctors understand the severity of the condition
