Description
The Alpha-Hydroxybutyrate Dehydrogenase (AHBDH) test measures the levels of the enzyme AHBDH in the blood. This enzyme is involved in the metabolism of ketone bodies and plays a role in converting hydroxybutyrate to acetoacetate, which are crucial for energy production, especially during periods of fasting or low carbohydrate intake. The test is often used to assess metabolic disorders or monitor specific conditions such as diabetes or alcoholism.
