Why does lymphoma cause ldh to increase?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Cell turn over: Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme that is in all our cells. Rapid cell turnover (a combination of proliferation and death) within lymphomas makes the LDH levels rise in the serum. LDH may also rise briefly after effective therapy, as the tumor cells lyse and release LDH. It should then fall as the number of tumor cells goes down.

Is LDH value of 469, when upper limit in my lab is 480, an indicative of any disease like lymphoma? Or if it's still within lab norm, it's OK?
