LDH has 4 subunits, hence LDH is termed as
Tetramer
LDH isoenzyme that migrates the fastest towards the anode

LD-2
Reference range for LDH
125 - 220 U/L
LDH Isoenzyme that predominates in the Serum
LD-2
LDH Isoenzyme that predominates in the Lungs
LD-3
LDH Isoenzyme that predominates in the Skeletal Muscle
LD-5

LD-5
Clinical Correlation for Highest Level of Total LDH
Pernicious Anemia
Hemolytic Disorders
LDH isoenzyme from the Heart & RBCs
LD-1 (HHHH) & LD-2 (HHHM)
LDH isoenzyme from the Lungs, Lymphocytes, Spleen, and Pancreas
LD-3 (HHMM)
LDH isoenzyme from the Liver
LD-4 (HMMM)
LDH isoenzyme from the Skeletal Muscle
LD-5 (MMMM)
Causes LD Flipped Pattern
Myocardial Infarction & Intravascular Hemolysis
LDH Isoenzyme elevated in Liver Damage/Intrahepatic Disorders
