Can indirectly affect enzyme levels.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
Generalized D3 deficiency will not directly cause a rise in LDH levels but the associated bone and muscle destruction can cause the raised levels of the enzyme.
It is best to start D3 supplements in case the levels are on lower side.
Hope my answer is helpful.
