About LDH Reagent
Elevations in serum lactate dehydrogenase (LD) occur from myocardial infarction, liver disease, pernicious and megaloblastic anemias, pulmonary emboli, malignancies, and muscular dystrophy. A combined analysis of LD and CK (creatine kinase) isoenzymes provides a definite diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction.
Methodology
The LD procedure employs a modification of the method of Wacker et al. which utilizes the forward reaction of lactate to pyruvate. Lactate and NAD are converted to pyruvate and NADH catalyzed by LD. NADH strongly absorbs light at 340 nm, whereas NAD does not. The rate of change of absorbance at 340 nm is directly proportional to the LD activity in the sample.
