Plasma lactate dehydrogenase in megaloblastic anaemia.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Raised plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) values were found in 26 patients with marked megaloblastic anaemia due either to vitamin B(12) or folic-acid deficiency or a combination of these factors.Minor megaloblastic changes were not usually accompanied by plasma LDH elevation. Serial LDH estimations were as valuable as serial reticulocyte counts in assessing the response to physiological doses of folic acid and therefore in deciding whether megaloblastic anaemia is partially or completely due to folic acid deficiency.

Enzymatic release of folate activity from the red cells in megaloblastic anaemia of pregnancy.
The content of folate activity precursors in washed red cells and the enzymatic plasma factor activity, necessary for the release of folate from the precursors, were studied in normal subjects and in patients with megaloblastic anaemia of pregnancy. Subjects with megaloblastic anaemia of pregnancy had a significantly reduced folate activity precursor content, and 14 subjects (58%) had significa...
متن کاملUrea and oxalate inhibition of the serum lactate dehydrogenase.
The serum lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) of 16 normal subjects was inhibited by 55 to 68% by the incorporation into the reaction mixture of 0.2 mM-oxalate. Oxalate inhibited the serum LDH of 17 out of 19 patients with myocardial infarction to a greater extent, and that of 16 out of 18 patients with liver disease to a lesser extent than that of the controls. The serum LDH of all 16 patients with li...

متن کاملUrinary excretion of histidine derivatives in megaloblastic anaemia and other conditions and comparison with the folic acid clearance test.
Urinary excretion of urocanic acid and formimino-glutamic acid in abnormal amounts following oral doses of histidine has been observed not only in most cases of megaloblastic anaemia, but in iron-deficiency anaemia, haemolytic anaemia, and neoplastic disease. The urinary excretion of these substances is increased in those disease states in which an abnormally rapid rate of removal from the plas...
متن کاملPlatelet ascorbic acid levels in normal subjects and in disease.
The platelet ascorbic acid concentration was measured in 26 normal subjects and found to be 20 times as high as in plasma. This is in agreement with previous reports in the literature. The platelets of patients with uraemia, leukaemia, and megaloblastic anaemia had a lower than normal platelet ascorbic acid content. In uraemia and megaloblastic anaemia the plasma ascorbic acid concentration was...
