LD6 (Alcohol dehydrogenase) is associated with which condition?

• A. Arteriosclerotic Failure
• B. Viral Hepatitis
• C. Muscular Dystrophy
• D. Kidney Failure

Answer: (A)

LD6 corresponds to alcohol dehydrogenase, an enzyme involved in the metabolism of alcohol in the liver. In clinical context, the pattern or level of this enzyme can reflect hepatic function and how well the liver is perfused. Arteriosclerotic failure is a vascular condition that can reduce blood flow to the liver and other organs, potentially altering hepatic enzyme activity, including alcohol dehydrogenase. That link makes it the best match among the given options in this question. The other conditions—viral hepatitis, muscular dystrophy, and kidney failure—are more closely tied to dysfunctions of other organs and would be expected to show different enzyme associations rather than this particular hepatic enzyme.
