Serum enzymes
Serum enzymes are proteins in the blood that help speed up chemical reactions in the body, especially those related to metabolism and cell function. When cells in organs like the liver, heart, or muscles are damaged or inflamed, these enzymes can leak into the bloodstream. Measuring their levels through blood tests helps doctors identify and monitor conditions such as liver disease, heart attack, or muscle disorders. Elevated or decreased enzyme levels can indicate specific health issues, making serum enzymes valuable tools for diagnosis and assessment of organ health.
