Unusual increases in serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-5 activity caused by severe congestive cardiac failure: two case reports.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Two cases of congestive cardiac failure had unusually high activities of serum lactate dehydrogenase and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-5. Values for isoenzyme-5 exceeding 87% of the total serum activity, and increases of 228- to 380-fold of the upper reference limit, are very uncommon.

Increased lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme-5 (LD5) activity evidently caused by persistent diaphragmatic pressure on a congested liver.
A patient with congestive cardiac failure owing to severe bradycardia had a transvenous cardiac pacemaker inserted, resulting in complete alleviation of the cardiac failure. Later, however, the pacer became displaced high into the superior vena cava, where it ceased to pace the heart but instead stimulated the right phrenic nerve. Consequently the rapid movement of the right hemidiaphragm press...
متن کاملAbnormal serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme due to complex of lactate dehydrogenase and immunoglobulin G (kappa type).
Abnormal electrophoretic pattern of serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme is shown. In this case electrophoretic pattern showed a sharp single band between lactate dehydrogenase 4 and lactate dehydrogenase 5 and broad band between lactate dehydrogenase 2 and lactate dehydrogenase 4. This abnormality was suggested to be caused by the presence of lactate dehydrogenase and immunoglobulin G (kappa ...
متن کاملLactate dehydrogenase-immunoglobulin G complex in the serum of the postburn patient.
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH)-immunoglobulin (Ig) complex has been reported in various diseases (1). Here we describe circulating LDH-IgG complex in a postburn patient; the complex appeared to be related to the progression of burn in this case. A 13-year-old Chinese male was admitted to our hospital with burns over 20% of his body. Some of the relevant laboratory test results and reference interv...
متن کاملVARIATIONS BY EPINEPHRINE OF HEPATIC AND SERUM AMINOTRANSFERASES AND LACTATE DEHYDROGENASE IN THE RAT
Incubation of rat hepatocytes with epinephrine inhibited alanine aminotransferase (ALT) (80%) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) (53%) activities with no effect on lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity. Injection of epinephrine caused a progressive increase with time in hepatic LDH activity, being 52% at 24 h. Preinjection with propranolol eliminated the hormone effect and caused further ...
متن کاملIncreased serum lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme 1 and "flipped" LD-1/LD-2 ratio in myopathy associated with partial carnitine palmitoyltransferase deficiency.
We describe a case of a limb-girdle myopathy presenting with myoglobinuria. A partial deficiency of muscle carnitine palmitoyltransferase (EC 2.3.1.21) may also have been present. All "muscle-type" serum enzymes were markedly increased (to between 30- and 400-fold their respective upper reference limits) and creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzyme 2 (CK-MB) was increased 130-fold but was still l...
