Re: Elevated Aldolase levels?

[Guest guest]

Normal Aldolase level is 1-7. Mine is 92.7 and I have a muscular disorder.

Another place of concentrated aldolase is the liver, and liver disorders are

another possibility. Is it possible her aldolase is coming from the muscle and

that's what the growing pains are? Was her CK checked as well?

CK is creatine kinase, it is an enzyme found in muscle cells (including the

heart). Elevated levels indicate muscle damage- which is why they measure it

after heart attacks, high levels indicate damage to the larger skeletal muscle.

It's fairly simple to tell where the aldolase is coming from- increases in

other liver enzymes like ALT, AST, Bilirubin, Alkaline Phosphate would indicate

it's coming from the liver, while an increased CK would indicate muscle. I have

no idea though if only the aldolase is elevated what that would indicate.

What is CK? How do you know where the aldolase is coming from, i.e. her muscles

or her liver?

Her CK was normal, .4, I believe. The doctor called this morning and said that

it's so slightly elevated that it's probably an error in the testing. Her

reading was 8.7 and normal is 1-7. Not sure what to make of it anymore.
