What is LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase)?
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) is an enzyme that plays a crucial role in the energy metabolism of cells. It aids in the conversion of lactate to pyruvate, an essential step in energy production within the cell.
Why should you have LDH tested?
An LDH test can be useful in diagnosing various conditions, including liver diseases, blood disorders, and certain types of cancer. It can also help assess the general health of cells and tissues in the body.
What does it indicate?
LDH levels in the blood can be an indicator of cell damage or cell death, as LDH is released into the bloodstream when cells are damaged.
What does a high LDH level mean?
A high level of LDH may indicate acute or chronic cell damage. This can result from various conditions, including myocardial infarction, liver disease, kidney disease, blood disorders such as anemia, and some types of cancer.
What does a low LDH level mean?
A low LDH level is usually not a cause for concern and is seldom associated with specific health problems. However, in some cases, it might indicate low muscle mass or insufficiently active tissues.
