LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Upper Limits of Normal
Notes
**Note 1:** Physician statement of LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Upper Limit of Normal can be used to code this data item.
**Note 2:** Record the value of the highest serum LDH test results documented in the medical record either before or after surgical resection of the primary tumor with or without regional lymph node dissection. The LDH must be taken prior to systemic (chemo, immunotherapy, hormone), radiation therapy or surgery to a metastatic site. The lab value may be recorded in a lab report, history and physical, or clinical statement in the pathology report.
**Note 3:** Upper limits of normal for LDH vary widely depending on the lab. Common upper limits can be 200, 250, 618, or other values.
**Note 4:** The same laboratory test should be used to record information in 3932:LDH Lab Value and 3869: LDH Level.
