Enzymes and isoenzymes have various therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Therapeutically, enzymes are used as thrombolytic agents to lyse blood clots, in enzyme replacement therapy for genetic deficiencies, to control cancer growth, as antidotes for toxins, and to reduce inflammation. Diagnostically, elevated specific enzymes indicate tissue damage and are markers for conditions like heart attack, liver disease, and pancreatitis. Isoenzymes further aid diagnosis by distinguishing between tissue types like liver and bone lesions. Lactate dehydrogenase isozymes specifically can monitor tissue breakdown and cancer treatment effectiveness.
