People Also Ask about

What is a LDH blood test in pregnancy?

The LDH test is a blood test that looks for high levels of the enzyme lactate dehydrogenase. Elevated levels may indicate various conditions, including stroke, some cancers, heart attack, and infections. High LDH levels during pregnancy can indicate preeclampsia, which causes high blood pressure.

When to worry about LDH?

Higher LDH levels in your blood may be a sign of tissue damage or disease. Your blood LDH level can also let your doctor know if your disease is getting worse or whether your treatment is working. LDH levels that are in the normal or lower-than-normal range aren't usually a problem.

What does lactate dehydrogenase do for the body?

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an important enzyme of the anaerobic metabolic pathway. It belongs to the class of oxidoreductases, with an enzyme commission number EC 1.1. 1.27. The function of the enzyme is to catalyze the reversible conversion of lactate to pyruvate with the reduction of + to NADH and vice versa.

What does it mean if your LDH is high?

In general, LDH levels that are higher than normal usually mean you have some type of tissue damage. The damage is usually from disease, infection, or injury. Your provider may order more tests to diagnose your condition.

What is LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE?

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in nearly all body tissues that plays a key role in converting lactate to pyruvate in the process of energy production during anaerobic respiration.

Who is required to file LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE?

Typically, lactate dehydrogenase levels are measured in medical settings for diagnosis or monitoring of certain conditions, and it is not a form that is filed but rather a test result evaluated by healthcare professionals.

How to fill out LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE?

Filling out a lactate dehydrogenase test requisition involves providing patient information, such as name, date of birth, and relevant medical history, along with the indication for the test, and submitting it to the laboratory.

What is the purpose of LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE?

The purpose of measuring lactate dehydrogenase levels is to assess tissue damage, identify certain diseases or conditions, and monitor the progression or treatment of illnesses such as cancer, liver disease, and myocardial infarction.

What information must be reported on LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE?

The information reported typically includes the lactate dehydrogenase enzyme level, reference range, patient demographics, reason for the test, and any relevant clinical notes from the healthcare provider.
