A typical reference range is 1.0 to 7.5 units per liter. There are slight differences between men and women. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test results.

Greater than normal levels of aldolase may be due to:

• Damage to skeletal muscles
• Hepatitis
• Infectious mononucleosis
• Liver, pancreatic, or prostate cancer
• Muscular dystrophy
• Myocardial infarction
• Polymyositis
