LDH-LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE (FLUID)

Overview

The Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) test in fluid helps evaluate tissue damage and detect conditions like infections, inflammation, or malignancies in body fluids such as pleural, pericardial, or peritoneal fluid. Elevated LDH levels in fluid indicate cellular injury or increased metabolic activity, aiding in the diagnosis of underlying diseases.
