Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in nearly every tissue in the body, so it's released into the bloodstream whenever cells anywhere are damaged, making it a very general, nonspecific marker of tissue injury. It's used alongside other, more specific tests to help investigate a range of conditions, including certain cancers (where it can reflect tumor burden or turnover), red blood cell breakdown (hemolysis), muscle injury, liver disease, and heart or lung tissue damage. Because so many different things can raise LDH, an abnormal result nearly always prompts more targeted testing based on your specific symptoms.

Single marker
$9.49
This test measures lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), an enzyme found in many body tissues. Elevated serum levels of LDH have been observed in a variety of disease states.
Panel
$50.99
This panel measures lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes. Lactate dehydrogenase (LD) is an enzyme found in almost all of the body's cells; elevated levels of this enzyme can be used as a general marker of cell injury. LD isoenzymes are used to determine the source of elevated LDH activity, as each isoenzyme tends to be concentrated in specific body tissues.
Today, more and more people are turning to tools like ChatGPT and asking a simple question:“What blood tests should I do to check my health?” The problem is – most answers are based on standard medical protocols. These protocols are designed to detect disease, not to identify early imbalances. As a result, many important markers…
