Introduction
Under normal circumstances, the reference range for lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is 109–245 U/L. A level of 360 U/L is considered elevated. If there are no physical discomforts, the situation is generally not severe. However, if symptoms such as palpitations or chest tightness occur, the condition may be somewhat serious. Therefore, the severity should be assessed based on individual circumstances, and prompt treatment is recommended if adverse symptoms appear.

If there are no physical discomforts, the situation is not serious; however, if symptoms such as palpitations or chest tightness occur, the condition may be somewhat severe. The specific analysis is as follows:
1. Not serious
Although the LDH level exceeds the normal range, if no adverse reactions are felt, the condition is generally not serious. Special treatment may not be needed temporarily. Regular follow-up tests are recommended to monitor the condition. In daily life, engaging in regular exercise can help improve overall physical health.
2. Serious
If the patient experiences adverse symptoms such as chest tightness or palpitations, it may indicate an underlying disease. Myocarditis is a possible cause, and treatment under medical guidance may include medications such as metoprolol tartrate tablets or trimetazidine hydrochloride tablets. Alternatively, acute hepatitis could be the cause, which may require medications such as adefovir dipivoxil tablets or lamivudine tablets, taken as prescribed by a doctor.
Therefore, the severity should be assessed based on individual circumstances. If any adverse symptoms appear, the underlying cause should be identified promptly and appropriate treatment initiated.
