Aldolase

Overview of Aldolase Blood Test
The aldolase blood test measures the level of the enzyme aldolase in the bloodstream. Aldolase plays a vital role in breaking down certain sugars to produce energy for the body.

Where Aldolase Is Found
Aldolase is primarily located in high concentrations within muscle and liver tissues. When these tissues are damaged, aldolase may be released into the blood, resulting in elevated levels.

Purpose of the Aldolase Test
This test is most commonly used in the diagnosis and monitoring of muscle disorders, particularly muscular dystrophy. It may also be used to investigate other conditions that involve muscle or liver damage.

When to Consider This Test
The aldolase test is recommended for individuals showing symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, pain, or wasting. It may also be useful in tracking the progression of muscle-related conditions and evaluating treatment effectiveness.
