Cause of high ldh?

very much so.


How do you raise ldh levels?

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.

Why is LDH elevated in B12 deficiency?

LDH enzyme (subtype 4H) is very abundant in red blood cells and heart muscle. In vit B12 deficiency there is high destruction of red cells in the bone marrow and in the blood vessels. As RBCs ruptures they release their inner content into the blood stream. So that's how LDH goes up in the blood.


What could cause an elevated LDH?

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)


Is your health at risk if your lactate dehydrogenase is above normal level?

There are several enzyme levels in the body that are only indicative of illnesses when taken in context with other abnormal labs. Examples of these would be LDH, CRP and alkaline phosphatase. These tests are more useful in confirming the diagnosis determined from more specific tests as no abnormalities in liver, heart or muscles. We would need to look at the full panel of lab tests to determine if an elevated LDH level was significant.
