Enzymes in clinical diagnosis 1- Enzymes may be measured in cells to detect enzyme deficiency in certain diseases e.g. deficiency of red cell G6PD in favism. 2- Measuring the level of certain enzymes in blood plasma helps the diagnosis of many diseases e.g.: high levels of CK (CK-MB), LDH and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) are specific for myocardial infarction. Plasma enzymes may be functional, which are enzymes that perform a certain function in the blood, or nonfunctional.
