Physicians expect to find increasing levels of lactate dehydrogenase (ldh).
The pancreas helps control sugar levels in the bloodstream by producing insulin to lower blood sugar levels and glucagon to raise blood sugar levels.
Elevated LDH levels can mean that you:(a) are experiencing hemolysis or the breakdown of red blood cells in your body tissues which contain LDH(b) if your levels remain high for up for several days, it could mean a myocardial infarction (heart attack) is on the way.(c) If your blood sample was incorrectly handled, the results may show that you have high levels of LDH even if you don't. This may be due to erythrocyte damage.(d) High levels of LDH may also indicate the presence of cancer cells, which destroy red blood cells found in your body tissues and release LDH into the blood stream.(e) In empyema, the LDH levels generally will exceed 1000 units per liter. Empyema is when fluid fills your lungs, leading to an infection.(f) viral meningitis (easily spreads through crowded population, such as college campuses and large urban areas)(g) encephalitis (caused by moquitoes that carry the disease)Source(wikipedia)
LDH stands for lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme found in the body that plays a role in the conversion of lactate to pyruvate during energy production. Elevated levels of LDH in the blood can indicate tissue damage or certain medical conditions.
LDH (lactate dehydrogenase) is an enzyme found in many body tissues, while LDL (low-density lipoprotein) is a type of cholesterol that carries cholesterol in the blood. LDH levels can be elevated in conditions like tissue damage or certain diseases, while LDL cholesterol levels are important to monitor for assessing cardiovascular disease risk.
Since high LDH is associated with many potential disease states and low LDH is not, it is largely ignored by he medical community, even more so now that low LDH has been identified with specific genes. Symptoms range from muscle pain when exercising to merely having muscles that seem to take awhile to warm up and may get stronger over long periods of exercise. The latter is true because intense or prolonged exercise is thought to elevate LDH levels in some people, perhaps bringing one's level back into a normal range temporarily. As one who has had LDH levels below the bottom end of the normal range ever since LDH began showing up on chem screens, I have found that daily exercise is helpful. Beyond that, I have not found any food or supplement that I am certain is helpful. Please experiment, though, let the rest of us know if you find something that helps. High doses of vitamin C and other substances can depress LDH test results but that is a different matter.
A LDH blood test measures the level of lactate dehydrogenase, an enzyme found in the body's tissues and organs. Elevated LDH levels may indicate tissue damage or diseases such as liver disease, heart attack, or certain types of cancer.
very much so.
Ezetimibe works by preventing absorption of cholesterol in the digestive tract, leading to reduced levels of cholesterol in the bloodstream. This helps to lower LDL ("bad") cholesterol levels and protect against conditions like heart disease.
Hypoglycemia is the word that means a condition in which a person has elevated levels of glucose in the bloodstream.
Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the bloodstream through diffusion, where it crosses the thin walls of the alveoli and capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream into the alveoli for removal when blood with high levels of carbon dioxide comes into contact with alveolar air with lower levels of carbon dioxide.
