LDH Isoenzymes Electrophoresis | Lahalak Platform
Electrophoresis analysis to separate LDH into five isoenzymes, pinpointing the specific source of tissue damage in the heart, liver, or muscles for accurate diagnosis.
Scientific name: Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Isoenzymes Electrophoresis
Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzyme assay is an analysis that uses electrophoresis to separate and measure the five different LDH isoenzymes (LDH-1 to LDH-5) in serum. Each isoenzyme (form) is concentrated in specific tissues. The relative pattern of each isoenzyme (profile) reveals the source of the overall elevated enzyme, providing more specialized...

Included Services
- Separation and relative quantification of the five forms of the LDH enzyme (LDH-1 to LDH-5) in blood serum using electrophoresis.

Medical Service Information
Conditions & Notices
- Fasting is not required, but it is preferable to fast for 8-12 hours to obtain a clear serum sample, as lipids may interfere with the electrophoresis process.
- Strenuous physical activity should be avoided for at least 48 hours before the examination, as it may cause an increase in LDH-5 (muscle-associated).
- Inform the doctor about any medications the patient is taking, as some may affect LDH levels.
