Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) X has been isolated in crystalline form from mouse testes. Homogeneity of the protein preparation was established by disc gel electrophoresis, analytical ultracentrifugation, and immunochemical analyses. LDH-X is clearly distinct in amino acid composition from LDH-1 and LDH-5 with respect to numbers of residues of leucine, glycine, threonine, and methionine. When 6 t...

Abnormal urinary findings, such as sterile pyuria, proteinuria, and microscopic hematuria, are often seen in the acute phase of Kawasaki disease (KD). We investigated the potential significance of urinary lactate dehydrogenase (U-LDH) activity and its isozyme patterns in KD. Total U-LDH activity and its isozymes (U-LDH1-5) levels were compared among 120 patients with KD, 18 patients with viral ...

background: parasite lactate dehydrogenase ( p ldh) is extensively employed as malaria rapid diagnostic tests (rdts). moreover, it is a well-known drug target candidate. however, the genetic diversity of this gene might influence perfor­mance of rdt kits and its drug target candidacy. this study aimed to determine polymorphism of p ldh gene from iranian isolates of p. vivax and p. falciparum. m...

Background : Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) activity was assayed in the sera of 40 adult male and 40 adult female patients within the age group of 16-50 years presenting with acute, Plasmodium falciparum malaria infection and a control group of 40 healthy adults within the same age group. Study objective: Study was design to determine diagnostic value of serum LDH activity in patient with acute P....

To establish Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) isoenzyme is a biochemical tumor marker in cervical carcinoma patients for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of the disease. The Serum and cervical tissue LDH isoenzyme was analyzed qualitatively by Poly Acrylamide Disc Gel Electrophoresis method. The total LDH activity was estimated quantitatively by the method of UV spectrophotometry. 50 untreated cer...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the ability of a variety of scoring systems to predict mortality of patients admitted to an intensive care unit (ICU) with acute respiratory failure (ARF) secondary to AIDS-related Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (PCP). METHODS All patients with AIDS-related PCP admitted to ICU at St. Paul's Hospital between January 1, 1985 and April 1, 1991 were reviewed. For each case, ...

To study the performance of serum and pleural lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) level in predicting survival in patients with adenocarcinoma lung presenting with malignant pleural effusions (MPE) at initial diagnosis.Retrospective cohort study of the patient hospitalized for adenocarcinoma lung with MPE in year 2012.Univariate analyses showed lower pleural fluid LDH 667 (313-967) versus 971 (214-3800...

In acute aortic syndromes (AAS), organ malperfusion represents a key event impacting both on diagnosis and outcome. Increased levels of plasma lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), a biomarker of malperfusion, have been reported in AAS, but the performance of LDH for the diagnosis of AAS and the relation of LDH with outcome in AAS have not been evaluated so far.This was a bi-centric prospective diagnost...
