IFCC methods for the measurement of catalytic concentration of enzymes. Part 8. IFCC method for lactate dehydrogenase (L-lactate: NAD+ oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.27)
Human lactate dehydrogenase is a tetramer made up of two types
of subunits, either H (heart) or M (muscle). Combination of these
subunits gives rise to the five isoenzymes of lactate dehydrogenase
which are found in mammalian tissues. The relative proportions
of the individual isoenzymes found in serum of patients is related
to the severity of the lesion in the organ or tissue from which they
originate and the half-life of the individual tissue-specific enzymes.
Thus, one cannot predict the relative proportions of the different
isoenzymes in any one patient sample
