About this test

The aldolase test measures aldolase, an enzyme involved in energy production, found mainly in skeletal muscle, as well as the liver and heart.

Normal aldolase levels in adults are typically below about 7.5 U/L, varying by lab and higher in children.

High aldolase indicates muscle damage, seen in muscular dystrophy, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, rhabdomyolysis, and muscle injury. It is especially useful when CK is normal but inflammatory muscle disease is suspected. Levels may also rise with liver disease, heart attack, and hemolysis.

It helps diagnose and monitor muscle disorders.

Questions about this test

When should I get the ALDOLASE test?

You should get an aldolase test if you have unexplained muscle weakness, pain, or tenderness, difficulty climbing stairs or lifting your arms, or a skin rash with muscle weakness. It is also recommended for suspected muscular dystrophy, myositis, or muscle injury, and for monitoring treatment of muscle diseases.

How should I prepare for the ALDOLASE test?

Fasting for 8–12 hours is often recommended before an aldolase test, and you may drink water during this time. Avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as it can raise aldolase levels. Inform your doctor about any recent injuries, intramuscular injections, or medicines you take.

Do I require fasting for the ALDOLASE test?

Fasting is often recommended for an aldolase test. You may be asked to fast for 8–12 hours, drinking only water. Also avoid strenuous exercise for 24–48 hours beforehand, as it can raise aldolase levels. Follow your lab’s specific instructions.
