Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzymes

Abstract A 50-year-old woman with metastatic rhabdomyosarcoma of the ovary had increased activities of creatine kinase (CK; EC 2.7.3.2), CK-MB isoenzyme, lactate dehydrogenase (LD; EC 1.1.1.27), and LD-2 isoenzyme in her serum. The isoenzyme activities did not show a pattern of increasing, then decreasing. Clinical findings, including electrocardiograms, did not support the diagnosis of myocardial infarction. We suggest that high activities of CK-MB and LD-2 in serum may serve as a marker of rhabdomyosarcoma.

Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzymes

Abstract Lactate dehydrogenase (LD) isoenzymes 1 and 2 in human serum were separated on a column of diethylaminoethyl-Sephadex. Samples layered on mini-columns were eluted with buffered sodium chloride (100, 150, and 200 mmol/liter). Lactate dehydrogenase activity in column effluents was measured by the Wacker method, and their isoenzyme content was evaluated by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Results for column-fractionated LD-1 and LD-2 were expressed in two ways: LD-1/LD-2 ratios and total LD-1 + LD-2 activities. The former is a more specific indicator of myocardial infarction than the latter. Sera from 10 patients with acute myocardial infarction (increased creatine kinease isoenzyme MB activity) exhibited ratios in the range of 0.92 to 1.56, ratios for 10 patients without heart disease (normal creatine kinase MB) ranged from 0.33 to 0.69.

Lactate Dehydrogenase Isoenzymes

Abstract Lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes were partially separated by use of a previously described column technique for creatine kinase [Clin. Chem. 20, 36 (1974)]. Extracts of lactate dehydrogenase-rich tissues were used to evaluate column resolution. Samples layered on mini-columns containing DEAE-Sephadex were eluted with Tris-buffered sodium chloride (100 and 200 mmol/ liter). Lactate dehydrogenase activity in column effluents was measured by the Wacker method, and their isoenzyme content was assessed by electrophoresis on polyacrylamide gel. Dehydrogenase isoenzymes 3, 4, and 5 were separated from isoenzymes 1 and 2, and the separation was tissue-specific and reproducible. The electrophoretic technique for isoenzymes 3, 4, and 5 gave values about 20% lower than did the column technique. Sera from 15 healthy laboratory technicians contained total lactate dehydrogenase, isoenzymes 1 and 2, and isoenzymes 3, 4, and 5 in the ranges 94 to 152, 34 to 64, and 38 to 75 U/liter, respectively. Activities of sera from 15 patients with acute myocardial infarction (total lactate dehydrogenase) ranged from 212 to 800 U/liter and lactate dehydrogenase isoenzymes 1 and 2 ranged from 138 to 628 U/liter. Lactate dehydrogenase and creatine kinase isoenzymes were rapidly and easily measured after being simultaneously separated. The procedure is specific and sensitive for following the post-infarct time course of changes in isoenzyme activities.

Abstract It is known that the ratio of isoenzyme 1 to total lactate dehydrogenase (LD, EC 1.1.1.27) in serum is increased in all patients with acute myocardial infarction within 24 h of the infarct. We now show that the LD-1/LD-2 ratio for serum more promptly indicates acute myocardial infarction, being for most patients equivalent to measurement of creatine kinase (EC 2.7.3.2) isoenzyme 2 (CK-2, CK-MB) in serum. Of 128 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of myocardial infarction, 66 had normal values for all "cardiac" enzymes at the time of admission, but greater than 75% of them showed a parallel increase in values for CK-2 and the LD-1/LD-2 ratio. Of the 26 patients who had one or more abnormal values for cardiac enzymes on admission, 95% showed a parallel increase in CK-2 and the LD-1/LD-2 ratio, the median time for the beginning of these changes being 9 h from the onset of chest pain. The remaining 36 patients were excluded from the study because CK-2 decreased after admission or because the time of onset of chest pain was uncertain.

Lactate Levels

Objectives: Myocardial infarction is the most common form of coronary heart disease, the commonest cause of worldwide mortality. The present biochemical markers take atleast 6 hours for elevation following an episode of myocardial infarction. There is a need for sensitive marker for early diagnosis and prognosis. Lactate, the end product of anaerobic glycolysis is found to be elevated in many critical illnesses. Thus the study was undertaken to assess the levels of serum lactate in patients with myocardial infarction and to correlate it with the frequently used enzymatic markers for the diagnosis of myocardial infarction, i.e creatine kinase – MB and lactate dehydrogenase Methods: Fifty age and sex matched controls and fty cases of myocardial infarction were included in the study. Serum creatine kinase – MB, lactate dehydrogenase and lactate were estimated in these subjects. Results:The serum lactate levels were signicantly higher among cases when compared to controls. The serum lactate levels positively correlated with serum creatine kinase – MB among cases but not with lactate dehydrogenase. Conclusions: We conclude that serum lactate is altered in patients with myocardial infarction and may be considered as a prognostic risk factor in these patients. Further studies are needed to nd the cut-off value of serum lactate for assistance in the hemodynamic management of these patients.
