What Does Elevated Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Indicate?
Disease description:
When I went to the hospital for tests, my doctor told me that my lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level was slightly elevated. What does an elevated LDH level indicate?
Doctor's answer (1)
Dr. Liu Guoqiang
Elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) levels may result from organic malnutrition. Impaired memory function can also contribute to increased LDH levels. However, liver disease cannot be ruled out as a potential cause; hepatic cellular damage or pathology may lead to significant elevation of LDH. Prompt identification of the underlying cause is essential to guide appropriate, targeted treatment.
