LDH
LDH is a clinical biomarker on the Liver panel, reported in U/L. Standard reference range: 120–250 U/L. Functional (optimal) range used by integrative practitioners: 120–160 U/L.
What is LDH?
Lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) is an intracellular enzyme released from damaged cells in virtually all tissues; it is a non-specific but sensitive marker of cell injury or hemolysis.
Reference ranges
| Range type | Value (U/L) | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Standard (lab) | 120–250 | Typical Quest / LabCorp adult reference |
| Functional (optimal) | 120–160 | Integrative / functional medicine consensus |
How SomaVue interprets LDH
SomaVue maps every result for LDH against four clinical lenses — nutrient cofactors, toxin exposure, infection drivers, and circadian/hormonal context — and connects each interpretation to specific peer-reviewed citations. Pre-mapped clinical reasoning and cross-marker pattern detection are available inside the practitioner workspace.
