Description. Aldolase is a cytoplasmic enzyme responsible for converting sugar into energy, specifically splitting aldol, fructose 1,6-bisphosphate, into the triose phosphates dihydroxyacetone phosphate (DHAP) and glyceraldehydes 3-phosphate (a reversible reaction).
The aldolase test measures the amount of aldolase in your blood. Increased levels of this enzyme may indicate a serious health problem. Elevated aldolase is usually a sign of muscle or liver damage. For example, muscle damage from a heart attack releases aldolase in large quantities. Liver damage, such as cirrhosis, raises aldolase levels as well. In the past, the aldolase test was used to look for liver or muscle damage. Today, doctors use more specific blood tests, including:
