Hi Robert, sorry for slow reply about LDH results.
My LDH was over 1,200 when diagnosed four years ago, fluctuating through chemotherapy, stem cell transplant, remission, relapse, etc, steady now around 266 for months which appears to be my new “normal “ ? ( my Drs seem to agree )
Guess we are all experiencing lots of different results and experiences on this “journey “ with Leukemia?
Stay strong my friend.
Hi RinPires, Happy Birthday! This is a gerneral definition of the LDH I found on the internet. And thissite has also sent you info on it. I hope this helps.
A high LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) level generally indicates tissue damage somewhere in your body, as LDH is an enzyme released when cells are damaged or destroyed; this could be due to a variety of conditions like muscle injury, heart attack, liver disease, certain cancers, infections, or severe anemia depending on which LDH isoenzyme is elevated.
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is a protein released when cells are damaged. In leukemia, high LDH levels can indicate disease activity or progression. A level of 260 may be within or slightly above the normal range, depending on the lab's reference values. It's best to discuss your results with your doctor, as they can Show Full Answer
Anyone can use the Internet.. Unfortunately, it’s not a replacement for your Medical Team. This is not a Medical Website! The generic Internet can give difference of opinion & AI answers by this site are not always accurate. There’s a plethora of incorrect & miscommunication on this site. Please consult a true BBB website for the future… LLS.org, ACC, Cancare, etc. Best wishes to you.🧡
PS Incorrect Info causes more harm & worry than anything else. For every answer in the World Wide Web… is followed by another to Debunk that theory… Do yourself a favor, get correct info from correct sources… Your Medical Team can’t be replaced by anything as only they know exactly what is going on w/you!
Thank you Donna!🤗
