Frequently Asked Questions
What does serum aldolase measure?
Aldolase is a glycolytic enzyme found mainly in skeletal muscle, heart, and liver. Elevated levels indicate muscle damage or liver disease.
Is fasting required for aldolase test?
No, fasting is not required. The test can be performed on a non-fasting serum sample.
What conditions raise aldolase levels?
Elevated aldolase is seen in muscular dystrophy, polymyositis, rhabdomyolysis, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and myocardial infarction.
How is aldolase different from CK?
CK is more specific to skeletal and cardiac muscle, while aldolase is also elevated in liver diseases, making it a broader muscle-liver marker.
