Book a Test- Aldehyde Test

The Aldehyde Test, also known as the Paraldehyde Test, is a medical test used to diagnose and monitor certain conditions, particularly those related to liver disease. The test measures the levels of aldehydes, specifically acetaldehyde, in the blood or urine. Aldehydes are toxic compounds that are produced when the liver breaks down certain substances, such as ethanol. Elevated levels of aldehydes in the blood or urine can indicate liver damage or disease, such as cirrhosis or hepatitis. The test is often used in conjunction with other diagnostic tests, such as liver function tests, to provide a comprehensive picture of liver health. The Aldehyde Test can also be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatment for liver disease and to detect potential liver damage in individuals who are at risk.
