LDH Test Overview
Lactate is a biochemical compound that is produced in the body as a result of anaerobic respiration. It is formed when glucose is broken down in the absence of oxygen. Lactate is present in various tissues of the body, including muscles, red blood cells, and the brain. In the bloodstream, lactate is present in the form of lactic acid, which is quickly converted to lactate by the liver. The level of lactate in the blood, referred to as lactate plasma, is a marker of anaerobic metabolism and is often used as a measure of the body's ability to produce energy during exercise or in conditions where oxygen supply is limited. Increased lactate levels in the blood, known as hyperlactatemia, can occur as a result of various conditions, including hypoxia (low oxygen levels), sepsis, shock, heart failure, liver disease, and certain medications. In some cases, hyperlactatemia can be a sign of a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions
When cells are damaged, the LDH enzyme is released into the fluid portion of blood. The fluid portion of the blood is called as serum. Sometimes LDH is also released into other body fluids; example: the cerebrospinal fluid. The cerebrospinal fluid is the one that surrounds your brain and spinal cord. This test is ordered when there is a fluid build-up due to injury or also when bacterial or viral meningitis is suspected.
- LDH test is ordered to see if you have tissue damage and to understand the extent of tissue damage
- To monitor some severe conditions like haemolytic or megaloblastic anaemia and some kidney and liver diseases.
- To monitor cancer treatment of certain types
LDH is a protein that normally appears throughout the body in small amounts, especially in active tissues such as heart, liver, kidney, etc . LDH levels rise above normal levels in various cancers, so LDH may be used as a tumor marker, but at the same time, it is not useful in identifying one specific type of cancer. Measuring LDH levels can be helpful in monitoring treatment for Cancer, to see if anticancer medications are working, as a measure of reduction in LDH levels. Noncancerous conditions that can elevate LDH levels include heart failure, hypothyroidism, anemia, and lung or liver disease.
An LDH blood test may be used:
- To detect and determine the severity of acute or chronic tissue damage
- To detect and monitor progressive conditions such as anaemia, including hemolytic anemia and megaoloblastic anemia, or severe infections, to check for progression of the disease
- To help stage, determine prognosis, and/or monitor treatment and efficacy of anticancer drugs (chemotherapy)
An LDH test is conducted on body fluids for a few different reasons:
- To help evaluate cerebrospinal fluid and distinguish between bacterial or viral meningitis
- To evaluate other body fluids such as pleural, peritoneal or pericardial fluid and help identify the cause of fluid accumulation-whether due to injury and inflammation (exudate), or due to an imbalance of pressure inside blood vessels and the amount of protein in the blood (transudate). This information is helpful in guiding treatment.
