Preferred Label : Lactate dehydrogenase:CCnc:Pt:Dial fld prt:Qn:Reaction: lactate to pyruvate;
LOINC status : ACTIVE;
LOINC display name : LDH Lactate to pyruvate reaction (Perit dial fld) [Catalytic activity/Vol];
LOINC long common name : Lactate dehydrogenase [Enzymatic activity/volume] in Peritoneal dialysis fluid by
Lactate to pyruvate reaction;
LOINC short name : LDH DiafP L to P-cCnc;
LOINC description : 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. [PMID: 7948233];
