What are blood enzymes?

Answer:

Enzymes are proteins that carry out chemical reactions (as opposed to structural enzymes). Most of the detectable enzymes in the blood come from the various tissues and organs of the body. Abnormal levels may reflect problems with a particular organ.

The most common blood enzymes test is for liver enzymes. When the cells of the liver are damaged, enzymes can leak out and detected in the blood. Another common test measures enzymes from heart damage, such as from a heart attack.
