Dr. Jin Zhongkui
The causes of elevated lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 are as follows:
1. In patients with liver diseases such as cirrhosis, acute or chronic hepatitis, if timely treatment is not received and the liver is subjected to prolonged inflammatory stimulation, this may lead to the aforementioned condition.
2. Kidney diseases such as renal insufficiency and acute glomerulonephritis are also among the factors that can cause elevated lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1.
