About This Test
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) is an enzyme found in almost all tissues of the body, including the heart, liver, muscles, kidneys, lungs, and red blood cells. It is released into the bloodstream whenever there is tissue damage. The LDH test measures the level of this enzyme in the blood and is used as a general marker for cell injury. LDH is not specific to one organ, but its elevation indicates tissue damage in the body.
