WHAT DOES A LDH TEST DO?
LDH is basically a protein that is referred to as an enzyme, it is found in almost all body tissues and cells including kidneys, pancreas, brain, heart, blood, and lungs. LDH is an important enzyme that helps in producing energy through sugar. LDH is discharged into the bloodstream and other fluids of the body, when the tissues are damaged. An LDH test checks the amount of lactate dehydrogenase in the bloodstream of a human body and detects the symptoms of damage in the tissues of a human body.
WHEN THE DOCTOR ORDERS LDH TEST?
An LDH test is conducted to check either the tissues are damaged or not, if yes then how much. The doctor may order an LDH test to observe infections like hemolytic or megaloblastic anemia, lung diseases, and kidney diseases.
