A member asked:

Ldh isoenzymes lab test results: ldh total- 153. ld1- 32, ld2-30, ld3, 20, ld4- 8, ld5- 10. are these results normal? is the ld1&ld2 ratio abnormal?

Historic test: Matthew, the LDH isoenzyme test is ancient history, almost never ordered nowadays. And your LDH is normal. The old 1-2 ratio is an antique screen for a heart attack, and it's neither sensitive nor specific. I know you're obsessing over the idea that you have lymphoma, and a few websites suggest this as a screening test -- but it's not. Focus on building a life for yourself.
