A member asked:
My lactate dehydrogenase (ldh) value 30 days ago was 104 (stable for years). today a month later (f/u blood test) my ldh has gone up to 154. alarming?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No: LDH can go up with muscle activity. This one reading is no cause for alarm. Next time you need to see a doctor, you may get it retested. Make sure you have the blood drawn before engaging in any activity other than that needed to get you to the doctor's office. Your current result is still in the normal range.
