Discover your lactate dehydrogenase levels with our LD test
Lactate dehydrogenase (LD) is involved in the conversion of lactic acid and pyruvate, which is necessary for the cell's energy metabolism. The analysis of S-LD is crucial for assessing tissue damage and diseases related to heart, muscle and liver. LD acts as a marker for non-specific damage and provides guidance for further investigation.
Why should I measure Lactate dehydrogenase?
The LD test allows you to analyze the levels of Lactate dehydrogenase in your blood, which is crucial for monitoring and assessing the health of organs such as the heart, muscles and liver. It is a useful marker to identify potential tissue damage and disease.
Why should I measure my Lactate dehydrogenase levels?
By measuring your Lactate dehydrogenase levels, you gain insight into possible tissue damage and can early detect problems related to the heart, muscles and liver. The LD test provides an overall picture of your health and can be an important part of your health routine to identify and manage potential health problems.
Reference values for S-LD
The reference value can vary between laboratories but a normal value for an adult is between 1.8 to 3.4 µkat/L
