R89.0: Abnormal findings in specimens from other organs, systems and tissues Abnormal enzyme levels
In a sample from your body, the amount of enzymes was altered.
In the body, certain proteins ensure that processes run better or more quickly. These proteins are also known as enzymes. For example, enzymes are involved in breaking down nutrients such as fats or sugar in the body.
Changes in the sample can be an indication of a disease. The results can also depend on factors like when the sample is taken or how the sample is stored until it is examined.

- G: Confirmed diagnosis
- V: Tentative diagnosis
