  2. Lactate dehydrogenase - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactate_dehydrogenase

    Measuring LDH levels can be helpful in monitoring treatment for cancer. Noncancerous conditions that can raise LDH levels include heart failure, hypothyroidism, anemia, pre-eclampsia, meningitis, encephalitis, acute pancreatitis, HIV and lung or liver disease. [30]

  3. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

    Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) LDH is not as specific as troponin. 72 hours Lactate dehydrogenase catalyses the conversion of pyruvate to lactate. LDH-1 isozyme is normally found in the heart muscle and LDH-2 is found predominantly in blood serum. A high LDH-1 level to LDH-2 suggest MI. LDH levels are also high in tissue breakdown or hemolysis.

  4. Liver function tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liver_function_tests

    Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is found in many body tissues, including the liver. Elevated levels of LDH may indicate liver damage. [18] LDH isotype-1 (or cardiac) is used for estimating damage to cardiac tissue, although troponin and creatine kinase tests are preferred. [19]

  5. Lactate threshold - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactate_threshold

    Regular endurance exercise leads to adaptations in skeletal muscle which raises the threshold at which lactate levels will rise. This is mediated via activation of the protein receptor PGC-1α , which alters the isoenzyme composition of the lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) complex and decreases the activity of lactate dehydrogenase A (LDHA), while ...

  6. Lactic acidosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactic_acidosis

    Adaptations in particular in the turtle's blood composition and shell allow it to tolerate high levels of lactic acid accumulation. In the anoxic conditions where fermentation is dominant, calcium levels in the blood plasma increase. [23] This calcium serves as a buffer, reacting with the excess lactate to form the precipitate calcium lactate ...

  7. Elevated transaminases - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elevated_transaminases

    Mild transaminesemia refers to levels up to 250 U/L. [1] Drug-induced increases such as that found with the use of anti-tuberculosis agents such as isoniazid are limited typically to below 100 U/L for either ALT or AST. Muscle sources of the enzymes, such as intense exercise, are unrelated to liver function and can markedly increase AST and ALT ...

  8. Transudate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transudate

    Levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) [7] or a Rivalta test can be used to distinguish transudate from exudate. [ citation needed ] Their main role in nature is to protect elements of the skin and other subcutaneous substances against the contact effects of external climate and the environment and other substances – it also plays a role in ...

  9. Reference ranges for blood tests - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reference_ranges_for_blood...

    For most substances presented, the optimal levels are the ones normally found in the population as well. More specifically, optimal levels are generally close to a central tendency of the values found in the population. However, usual and optimal levels may differ substantially, most notably among vitamins and blood lipids, so these tables give ...
