Overview
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) is an enzyme found in nearly all body tissues. It plays a role in energy production by converting lactate into pyruvate in cells. LDH levels in the blood or other body fluids are used to assess tissue d...

Description
lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) in a sample of your blood. In certain cases, LDH levels are measured in samples of other body fluids. This includes testing fluid from the spine (cerebrospinal fluid), the belly (peritoneal fluid), and the chest (pleural fluid). LDH is also called lactic acid dehydrogenase. It is an enzyme.
