ALPHA HYDROXYBUTYRATE DEHYDROGENASE

The Alpha Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase (α-HBDH) test measures the level of the enzyme α-HBDH, which helps assess tissue damage, especially in the heart, liver and muscles. Elevated levels of this enzyme may indicate heart diseases like myocardial infarction, liver disorders, or muscle injuries. It is often used alongside other enzyme tests to help identify the location and extent of tissue damage in the body.
