A complete blood count (CBC), erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR), C protein, rheumatoid factor (RF), and antinuclear antibody (ANA) may be done for patients with suspected rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). CBC may show anemia; ESR and C protein may be elevated as a reflection of the inflammatory aspect of the disease. RF is present in 70% of RA patients, and ANA is present in 30%; the latter two reflect the autoimmune component of the disease.
Aldolase is measured by mixing a person's serum with a substance with which aldolase is known to trigger a reaction. The end product of this reaction is measured, and, from that measurement, the amount of aldolase in the.
Testing for aldolase is done to diagnose and monitor skeletal muscle diseases.
Aldolase inhibits the reaction F-1-P --> glyceraldehyde + dihydroxyacetone.
Aldolase is an enzyme found throughout the body, particularly in muscles. Like all enzymes, it is needed to trigger specific chemical reactions. Aldolase helps muscle turn sugar into energy.
An aldolase is an enzyme, present in some tissues, which catalyzes the conversion of phosphates of fructose to those of glyceraldehyde and dihydroxyacetone.
Aldolase tests measure muslce or liver damage. Polymyositis damages the muscle tissue. Higher the level of aldolase the more damage there is. Hope this helps.
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.

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.
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.
