What does a high LDH test mean? .What are other tests that can be done to determine the cause. Thanks

Hello @samhaly. Great question about LDH levels and what their cause might be. I found a few articles that might be helpful:
https://medlineplus.gov/lab-tests/lactate-dehydrogenase-ldh-test/
https://labtestsonline.org/tests/lactate-dehydrogenase-ld
https://neurology.testcatalog.org/show/LD

I was wondering if you could share a little more. Did you recently have an LDH test that came back high? If so, was there a specific reason your doctor ordered the test for you?

my wife has Lymphoma cancer and in just 1 month her ldh count went from 250 to 550. Her cancer has spread to most regions of her body. They're now talking about CAR T infusion.
