LaboratoryLactate dehydrogenase [Enzymatic activity/volume] in Peritoneal dialysis fluid by Lactate to pyruvate reaction
Definition
Elevated lactate dehydrogenase is a marker for various types of tissue injury. In patients undergoing peritoneal dialysis, elevated LDH in the dialysate may be a sign of peritonitis, and failure of dialysate LDH levels to normalize during treatment of peritonitis may be associated with incomplete recovery and a higher rate of complications compared to patients whose LDH levels decrease back to normal levels.
