What is Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Test?

The Lactate Dehydrogenase test evaluates the amount of lactate dehydrogenase in your blood or other bodily fluids. LDH is a vital enzyme that plays a key role in the process of cellular respiration, which is responsible for converting glucose into energy for your cells. LDH is present in nearly all tissues of your body, but its highest concentrations are found in the liver, muscles, red blood cells, and kidneys. When new cells are formed in tissues, the older or dead cells are eliminated by your body's natural process, which causes LDH to be released into your bloodstream or other bodily fluids. As a result, it is common to have some LDH in your fluid or blood sample at all times.

The LDH test plays a crucial role in detecting and evaluating the extent and position of tissue damage within the body. It is also utilized to monitor the advancement of specific illness.
