A member asked:

My 14 year old son has high ldh levels with protein inurine and swollen lymph glands. what could this be?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Needs evaluation!: This is a difficult question with no easy answers. However ldh elevation indicates that there are cells that are being killed. The protein in the urine could be from a variety of sources and of course the swollen lymph nodes suggest either infection or cancer. Your son needs to have a complete history and physical with perhaps other studies done to find out what is causing this.
