Dear Colleagues

I’ve been asked by one of the paediatric rheumatologists for serum aldolase. It is on a child with a background of chronic inflammation in whom they are now querying juvenile dermatomyositis. CK is normal. Does anyone measure aldolase and is there any value in measuring it in this clinical scenario?

Help and advice appreciated.

Lesley
