Tumor.ldhPreOrchiectomyRange
Description
Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Range identifies the range category of the highest LDH value measured prior to treatment. LDH is a nonspecific marker for testicular cancer that is elevated in some germ cell tumors. This data item refers to the Pre-Orchiectomy range.
Rationale
LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) is a Registry Data Collection Variable in AJCC. LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Pre-Orchiectomy Range is used to assign the S Category Clinical and was previously collected as Testis CS SSF# 10.
Codes
| 0 | Within normal limits |
| 1 | Less than 1.5 x N (Less than 1.5 times the upper limit of normal for LDH) |
| 2 | 1.5 to 10 x N (Between 1.5 and 10 times the upper limit of normal for LDH) |
| 3 | Greater than 10 x N (Greater than 10 times the upper limit of normal for LDH) |
| 4 | Pre-Orchiectomy lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) range stated to be elevated |
| 7 | Test ordered, results not in chart |
| 8 | Not applicable: Information not collected for this case (If this information is required by your standard setter, use of code 8 may result in an edit error.) |
| 9 | Not documented in medical record LDH (Lactate Dehydrogenase) Pre-Orchiectomy Range not assessed or unknown if assessed |
Code Notes
Each Site-Specific Data Item (SSDI) applies only to selected primary sites, histologies, and years of diagnosis. Depending on applicability and standard-setter requirements, SSDIs may be left blank.
