Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic,

Your blood report shows elevated LDH (Lactate dehydrogenase) level.

Elevated LDH level indicates tissue damage mainly.

The causes of elevated LDH are numerous, which includes:

-Pneumonia
-Heart attack (damage to heart tissue)
-Hemolytic anemia (damage to RBCs)
-Leukemia, lymphoma (WBC damage)
-Pancreatitis
-muscle injury
-Hepatitis

Depending on your symptoms background, your doctor will make a diagnosis after a thorough clinical examination and some further investigations.

Measuring blood levels of LDH isoenzymes will also help pinpoint specific tissue damage.
Please be advised to follow-up with your treating physician with the blood results.
