About Lactate dehydrogenase (ldh)

What is lactate dehydrogenase?

Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a key enzyme for the anaerobic energy production pathway. Its primary role is to convert pyruvate to lactate during anaerobic energy production and then convert lactate back to pyruvate in the presence of oxygen. LDH in the blood is associated with tissue damage and can be used to indicate the location and severity of this damage. It can also be used to monitor diseases such as kidney disease, liver disease and certain cancers.

Why take the test?

This test measures the amount of lactate dehydrogenase in the blood. It is typically used to diagnose and monitor tissue damage.
