What is the purpose of an aldolase test?
Muscle weakness may be caused by neurologic as well as muscular problems. The measurement of aldolase levels can help pinpoint the cause. Aldolase levels will be normal where muscle weakness is caused by neurological disease.
What is the recommended treatment for abnormal aldolase test results?
Aldolase is a muscle enzyme. If the level is low then there is no problem. If the level is high then the treatment is to diagnose and treat the underlying muscle problem.

Is aldolase a zinc containing enzyme?
Aldolase is one of the enzymes involved in glycolysis, it need zinc for Zn+2 for catalysis. Then it does not contain zinc naturally but zinc will bind to it.
What characteristics does an abnormal aldolase test have?
As noted, aldolase is elevated in skeletal muscle diseases, such as muscular dystrophies. Duchenne's muscular dystrophy, the most common type of muscular dystrophy, will increase the aldolase level more than any other disease.
