Relative concentration of LDH in serum
2>1>3>4>5
LDH concentration if patient has AMI or intravascular hemolysis
1>2>3>4>5 (FLIPPED PATTERN)
LDH level in AMI: Rise, Peak, Remains elevated
Rise: 10-24 hrs
Peak: 48-72
Elevated: 10 days
Reference range of LD
100-225 U/L
Is LDH fastest or slowest to elevate in AMI among AMI markers
SLOWEST
