A member asked:

Can you still have lymphoma and perfect ldh levels?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Definitely: Elevation of ldh (lactate dehydrogenase) occurs in more aggressive lymphomas. Low grade lymphomas generally have a normal ldh unless they transform and behave more aggressively. High ldh is also a marker used in the prognostication of lymphomas.
