About test
What does LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE (LDH) measure?
The lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) test measures the level of LDH, an enzyme found in many body tissues. LDH may be released into the blood when cells are damaged or broken down. This test may help assess tissue injury or inflammation and may be used alongside other tests when evaluating conditions affecting organs, muscles, blood cells, or other tissues. Results are interpreted in the context of symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory findings.
