What Causes High LDH Levels?
I am a 30 year old male and I had some labs done because i had an abnormal EKG. I got the results in the mail and do not understand them. My WBC is high 11.8 10-3/mcL. My Abs monocytes were high .90 10-3/mcL. My LDH was high 307 unit/L. What could this mean?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Abnormal ECG has led to stress and was also possibly secondary to stressful period you had previously. Now that other things are normal, you need not worry.
2. Monocytes are only mildly increased. It is also due to stress.
3. LDH is increased due to severe muscular activity. It is only mildly raised. Not to worry. Take rest, it will come down.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
